Task-dependent Modulation of Cortical Excitability and Balance Control in Individuals with Post-concussion Syndrome [PDF]
In most cases, symptoms resolve between 7-10 days post-concussion. However, in 10-15% of the concussed population, symptoms can remain unresolved for months to years following the head injury.

Effects of motor preparation and spatial attention on corticospinal excitability in a delayed-response paradigm [PDF]
The preparation of motor responses during the delay period of an instructed delay task is associated with sustained neural firing in the primate premotor cortex.

Plasticity and dystonia: a hypothesis shrouded in variability. [PDF]
Studying plasticity mechanisms with Professor John Rothwell was a shared highlight of our careers. In this article, we discuss non-invasive brain stimulation techniques which aim to induce and quantify plasticity, the mechanisms and nature of their ...

ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

Maintenance deep transcranial magnetic stimulation sessions are associated with reduced depressive relapses in patients with unipolar or bipolar depression [PDF]
Introduction: Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is a new form of TMS allowing safe stimulation of deep brain regions. The objective of this preliminary study was to assess the role of dTMS maintenance sessions in protecting patients with ...

State Estimation in the Cerebellum [PDF]
An exciting hypothesis about the cerebellum is that its role is one of state estimation—a process that combines afferent copies of motor commands with afferent sensory signals to produce a representation of the current status of the peripheral motor ...

The role of stimulus-driven versus goal-directed processes in fight and flight tendencies measured with motor evoked potentials induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation [PDF]
This study examines two contrasting explanations for early tendencies to fight and flee. According to a stimulus-driven explanation, goal-incompatible stimuli that are easy/difficult to control lead to the tendency to fight/flee.

Voice and Speech in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders
Background Motor speech disorders are early, common, and functionally limiting features of atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These impairments are underrecognized and undertreated in neurology clinics.

Left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation reduces the development of long-term muscle pain [PDF]
The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is involved in the experience and modulation of pain, and may be an important node linking pain and cognition.

Early improvement of dystonia after globus pallidus internus‐deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is associated with stimulation of the globus pallidus externus‐subthalamic nucleus (GPe‐STN) fibers and the lenticular fasciculus. Functional connectivity to the cerebellar cortex and the limbic and default mode networks predict early improvement of symptoms ...
