Motor intracortical excitability before speech onset in adults who stutter
Objective: A core feature of persistent developmental stuttering is the paroxysmal, transient, involuntary loss of speech motor control. However, the neurophysiology of stuttering remains largely…Subthalamic Neurons Fire Differently In Planned Versus Reactive Movements
Objective: To study the role of STN neurons in modifying an ongoing movement. Background: Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) have difficulty starting or modifying a…Impaired intracortical inhibition predicts response to medication in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To check whether measures of motor cortex excitability and plasticity are associated with clinical response to dopaminergic treatment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Background:…High-Beta and High-Gamma Power Oscillations from Subthalamic Nucleus distinguishes Parkinson’s Disease Subtypes
Objective: To distinguish Parkinson’s disease (PD) subtypes – tremor dominant (TD) and Akinetic-rigid (AR) – by means of local field potentials spectral features recorded from…Neuroprotective actions of red propolis extract and formononetin in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of red propolis (HERP) and one of its major compounds, formononetin (FN), against the motor symptoms…Blood–brain barrier breakdown in an adult mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in parkinsonism. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which is…Impaired LTP-like plasticity in Parkinson’s Disease can be restored by γ-transcranial alternating current stimulation
Objective: To test whether the co-stimulation γ-transcranial alternating current stimulation (γ-tACS)-intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is effective in improving the impaired long-term potentiation (LTP)-like plasticity…The differential role of subthalamic and nigral neurons in gait control in Parkinson´s disease patients
Objective: The aim of the study was to identify and characterize subthalamic (STN) and nigral (SNr) neurons showing gait-related activity changes. 12 Parkinson’s disease (PD)…Cortical gamma oscillations as biomarkers for levodopa-induced dyskinesia
Objective: The aim of our study was to characterize cortical neuronal network activity in levodopa-induced dyskinesia in order to better understand the underlying pathophysiology and…Effects of an intensive rehabilitation program (SIROCCO) on prefrontal activity during walking in patients with Parkinson Disease
Objective: To investigate the effects of a 5-weeks intensive rehabilitation program on prefrontal activation during walking in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD). Background: Several studies…
