Parietal conditioning enhances motor surround inhibition

Brain Stimulation, 2020
Background: Motor surround inhibition (mSI) is a phenomenon supportive for executing selective finger movements, wherein synergist muscles are selectively facilitated while surround muscles are inhibited.

Multimodal imaging of essential tremor and dystonic tremor

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2022
Despite recent advances in tremor and dystonia classification, it remains difficult to discriminate essential tremor from dystonic tremor as they are similar in appearance and no biomarker exists.

Potential Link Between Cognition and Motor Reserve in Patients With Parkinson's Disease [PDF]

, 2022
Objective: To investigate whether there is a link between cognitive function and motor reserve (i.e., individual capacity to cope with nigrostriatal dopamine depletion) in patients with newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease (PD).

Functional Impact of Sydenham's Chorea: A Case Report

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2013
Background: Sydenham's chorea (SC) is the most common type of acquired chorea in childhood. In some cases, symptoms (most commonly described in terms of neurological signs) last up to 2 years, and many cases relapse.

BacAv, a new free online platform for clinical back-averaging

Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, 2020
Objective: The back-average technique is very useful to study the relation between the activity in the cortex and the muscles. It has two main clinical applications, Bereitschaftspotential (BP) recording and myoclonus studies.

Inter-Individual Variability in Motor Output Is Driven by Recruitment Gain in the Corticospinal Tract Rather Than Motor Threshold

Brain Sciences, 2022
Variability in the response of individuals to various non-invasive brain stimulation protocols is a major problem that limits their potential for clinical applications. Baseline motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude is the key predictor of an individual’

Response repetition biases in human perceptual decisions are explained by activity decay in competitive attractor models

eLife, 2016
Animals and humans have a tendency to repeat recent choices, a phenomenon known as choice hysteresis. The mechanism for this choice bias remains unclear.

The Immediate and Short-Term Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation on Corticospinal Excitability

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Rehabilitative interventions involving electrical stimulation show promise for neuroplastic recovery in people living with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). However, the understanding of how stimulation interacts with descending and spinal excitability remain ...
