Pain-motor integration in the primary motor cortex in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
, 2017 In Parkinson's disease (PD), the influence of chronic pain on motor features has never been investigated. We have recently designed a technique that combines nociceptive system activation by laser stimuli and primary motor cortex (M1) activation through ...

Neuromodulation Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
JBNC - JORNAL BRASILEIRO DE NEUROCIRURGIA, 2018 Introduction: TMS is said to be an effective technique for motor and cognitive rehabilitation for acquired neurological lesions. This study aims to evaluate the effect of TMS in the cognition of patients after stroke. Methods: This prospective, longitudinal and interventional study was approved by the Ethics Committee (Protocol No. 54977216.3.0000.5078)

Task‐specific strength increases after lower‐limb compound resistance training occurred in the absence of corticospinal changes in vastus lateralis [PDF]
, 2020 Neural adaptations subserving strength increases have been shown to be task‐specific, but responses and adaptation to lower‐limb compound exercises such as the squat are commonly assessed in a single‐limb isometric task.

Dance and emotion in posterior parietal cortex: a low-frequency rTMS study [PDF]
, 2012 Background: The neural bases of emotion are most often studied using short non-natural stimuli and assessed using correlational methods. Here we use a brain perturbation approach to make causal inferences between brain activity and emotional reaction to ...

Testing rTMS-Induced Neuroplasticity: A Single Case Study of Focal Hand Dystonia [PDF]
, 2018 Focal hand dystonia in musicians is a neurological motor disorder in which aberrant plasticity is caused by excessive repetitive use. This work's purposes were to induce plasticity changes in a dystonic musician through five daily thirty-minute sessions ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Emerging evidence suggests that low‐frequency neural oscillations are dynamically regulated by consciousness levels, with the recovery of low cortical activity potentially serving as a neurophysiological substrate for conscious emergence. Targeted enhancement of these low‐frequency rhythms in patients with disorders of consciousness
