Intracortical and intercortical networks in patients after stroke: a concurrent TMS-EEG study
Background Concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) recording provides information on both intracortical reorganization and networking, and that information could yield new insights into post-stroke ...

Monitoring cortical excitability during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with ADHD: a single-blind, sham-controlled TMS-EEG study [PDF]
Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows non-invasive stimulation of the human brain. However, no suitable marker has yet been established to monitor the immediate rTMS effects on cortical areas in children.

A Cholinergic Synaptically Triggered Event Participates in the Generation of Persistent Activity Necessary for Eye Fixation [PDF]
An exciting topic regarding integrative properties of the nervous system is how transient motor commands or brief sensory stimuli are able to evoke persistent neuronal changes, mainly as a sustained, tonic action potential firing.

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring
The principal aim of “intraoperative neuromonitoring” (IN) is to prevent potential neurologic deficits that may be caused by the surgical process, which is very appropriate to the principal rule of medicine “primum non nocere.” Monitoring neurologic ...

Comparison of transcranial electric motor and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during cervical spine surgery. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There has been little enthusiasm for somatosensory evoked potential monitoring in cervical spine surgery as a result, in part, of the increased risk of motor tract injury at this level, to which somatosensory monitoring may be insensitive ...

Myogenic transcranial motor evoked potentials monitoring cannot always predict neurologic outcome after spinal cord ischemia in rats [PDF]
ObjectivesA day after undergoing an operation of the thoracic aorta, a patient showed signs of spastic paraplegia, but on myogenic transcranial motor evoked potential monitoring, the myogenic transcranial motor evoked potentials recorded from the left ...

Exploiting Multiple Sensory Modalities in Brain-Machine Interfaces [PDF]
Recent improvements in cortically-controlled brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have raised hopes that such technologies may improve the quality of life of severely motor-disabled patients.
