Optogenetic Neuronal Stimulation Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
Although spinal cord injury (SCI) is the main cause of disability worldwide, there is still no definite and effective treatment method for this condition.

Illusory sensation of movement induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. [PDF]
Human movement sense relies on both somatosensory feedback and on knowledge of the motor commands used to produce the movement. We have induced a movement illusion using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over primary motor cortex and dorsal ...

A longitudinal study of hand motor recovery after sub-acute stroke: a study combined FMRI with diffusion tensor imaging. [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that motor recovery of stroke can be assessed by the cortical activity and the structural integrity of the corticospinal tract (CST), but little is known about the relation between the cortical activity and the structural ...

Task-free functional MRI in cervical dystonia reveals multi-network changes that partially normalize with botulinum toxin. [PDF]
Cervical dystonia is characterized by involuntary, abnormal movements and postures of the head and neck. Current views on its pathophysiology, such as faulty sensorimotor integration and impaired motor planning, are largely based on studies of focal hand

Two new recurrence plot methods (the binary recurrence plot and binary cross recurrence plot) were introduced here to study the long-term dynamic of the primary motor cortex and its interaction with the primary somatosensory cortex, the anterior motor ...

Paired associative stimulation demonstrates alterations in motor cortical synaptic plasticity in patients with hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]
Objective: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a potentially reversible brain dysfunction caused by liver failure. Altered synaptic plasticity is supposed to play a major role in the pathophysiology of HE. Here, we used paired associative stimulation with an inter-stimulus interval of 25 ms (PAS25), a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol, to ...

Isolated shoulder weakness as a result of a cortical infarction in the precentral gyrus [PDF]
Since its discovery, our understanding of the primary motor cortex has continued to evolve. The presentations of rare, isolated, motor palsies of small muscle groups have heavily contributed to the characterization of the somatotopic representation of ...

BackgroundAnodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex and cerebellum is gaining prominence in the literature due to its potential to favor learning and motor performance. If administered during motor training, tDCS

We tested the hypothesis that motor planning and programming of speech articulation and verbal short-term memory (vSTM) depend on partially overlapping networks of neural regions. We evaluated this proposal by testing 76 individuals with acute ischemic
