The brain plasticity for controlling reach-to-grasp functions of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the brain plasticity for controlling the dominant and non-dominant hand muscles and reach-to-grasp (RTG) functions in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Previous studies…Long-latency somatosensory evoked potentials of the subthalamic nucleus
Objective: This study aims to clarify the role of the STN, previously suggested as an integrative component in the control of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuit,…The role of acoustic salience in acoustic cueing and sound-based motor rehabilitation
Objective: To evaluate the underlying mechanisms for motor rehabilitation in acoustic cueing and sound therapies with a specific focus on patterns of auditory salience. Background:…Neurophysiological assessment of corticospinal tract activation due to subthalamic deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess current spread to the corticospinal tract (CST) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with bilateral Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the…Motor cortex neuroplasticity and learning following high-intensity interval exercise
Objective: To determine the effect of high-intensity interval (HIT) exercise on motor cortex plasticity and learning in healthy young adults. Background: Motor skill learning requires…Impaired cerebellum to motor cortex associative plasticity in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare the corticocortical paired associative stimulation (PAS)-induced spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP)-like plasticity between Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy elder subjects. Background: Patients with…Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) decreases motor cortex excitability in Parkinson’s disease OFF but not ON medication
Objective: To test the ability of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) to decrease motor cortex excitability in patients with Parkinson's disease OFF vs, ON…
