The Motor Cortex Communicates with the Kidney [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2012
We used retrograde transneuronal transport of rabies virus from the rat kidney to identify the areas of the cerebral cortex that are potential sources of central commands for the neural regulation of this organ. Our results indicate that multiple motor and nonmotor areas of the cerebral cortex contain output neurons that indirectly influence kidney ...

Induction of plasticity in the human motor cortex by pairing an auditory stimulus with TMS

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Acoustic stimuli can cause a transient increase in the excitability of the motor cortex. The current study leverages this phenomenon to develop a method for testing the integrity of auditorimotor integration and the capacity for auditorimotor plasticity.

Neural population dynamics in human motor cortex during movements in people with ALS

eLife, 2015
The prevailing view of motor cortex holds that motor cortical neural activity represents muscle or movement parameters. However, recent studies in non-human primates have shown that neural activity does not simply represent muscle or movement parameters;

Research on Event-Related Desynchronization of Motor Imagery and Movement Based on Localized EEG Cortical Sources [PDF]

This study investigates event-related desynchronization (ERD) phenomena during motor imagery and actual movement. Using sLORETA software, we analyzed the cortical current source density distributions in Mu and Beta frequency bands for 33 subjects during rest, motor imagery, and actual movement conditions. The results were normalized for analysis. Using

Calcium modulating ligand confers risk for Parkinson's disease and impacts lysosomes

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Several genetic loci known to confer risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) function in lysosomal pathways. We systematically screened common variants linked to PD risk by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins reflecting lysosomal function.

Hand Motor Cortex Excitability During Speaking in Persistent Developmental Stuttering

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Persistent developmental stuttering (PDS) is a speech fluency disorder characterized by intermittent involuntary breakdowns of speech motor control, possibly related to motor cortex excitability.

Protein Synthesis Inhibition in the Peri-Infarct Cortex Slows Motor Recovery in Rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Neuroplasticity and reorganization of brain motor networks are thought to enable recovery of motor function after ischemic stroke. Especially in the cortex surrounding the ischemic scar (i.e., peri-infarct cortex), evidence for lasting reorganization has

Skin calcium deposits in primary familial brain calcification: A novel potential biomarker

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by small vessel calcifications in the basal ganglia. PFBC is caused by pathogenic variants in different genes and its physiopathology is still largely unknown. Skin vascular calcifications have been detected in single PFBC cases, suggesting

ALS plasma biomarkers reveal neurofilament and pTau correlate with disease onset and progression

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We performed a pilot screen to assess the utility of the NULISA™ (Nucleic‐acid‐Linked Immuno‐Sandwich Assay) platform in the identification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) biomarkers. Methods Plasma from 86 individuals (48 ALS, 18 asymptomatic C9orf72 repeat expansion carriers (AsymC9), and 20 healthy controls) was analyzed ...

Inhibition of the primary motor cortex and the upgoing thumb sign

eNeurologicalSci, 2017
Background: The upgoing thumb sign has been frequently observed in patients with minor strokes and transient ischemic attacks as an indicator of brain involvement.
