Intraoperative localization of beta band and high-frequency oscillations within the subthalamic nucleus
Objective: To investigate whether beta band activity (13-30Hz) and high-frequency oscillations (150-400Hz) arise from the same spatial location within the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of Parkinson's…Effects of deep brain stimulation in the nucleus entopeduncularis on neuronal network activity after apomorphine-induced deficient sensorimotor gating in a rat model
Objective: Deficient sensorimotor gating induced by dopamine receptor agonists is used as an endophenotype for certain neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Tourette´s syndrome (TS), schizophrenia, and…Globus pallidus interna oscillatory activity differentiates tics from voluntary movements and the Parkinsonian resting state
Objective: To describe local field potential (LFP) characteristics during tic acivity, voluntary activity, and the Parkinsonian resting state. Background: Deep brain stimulation is an emerging…Executive function and verbal fluency in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine whether the phonemic verbal fluency test is a purely cognitive measure or involves cognitive-motor interaction, if related to TMT. Background: Two of…Heart rate variability and sympathetic skin response are useful in the evaluation of Parkinson’s disease, AMS, and Parkinson plus syndrome, but underutilized in daily clinical practice
Objective: Assess the heart rate (HR) coefficient of variance (CV) in three conditions: supine, active standing and during deep breathing; and measure the sympathetic skin…Movement execution but not preparation modulates somatosensory temporal discrimination thresholds in healthy subjects
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate in healthy subjects whether somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold (STDT) is influenced by movement execution and preparation.…Perception of time in music in Parkinson´s disease – Processing of musical syntax compensates rhythmic deficits
Objective: We investigated the time perception of Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients under the condition of music perception by detecting their individual temporal discrimination ability and…Brain structural abnormalities in multiple system atrophy patients with cognitive impairment
Objective: To investigate the cerebral anatomical changes associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Mild cognitive deficits are frequently reported in…Stage dependent alteration of cortical excitability in patients with hepatic encephalopathy
Objective: To evaluate cortical excitability in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Background: HE is a neuropsychiatric disorder manifesting with movement…Cerebellar learning and its modifiability by alcohol in myoclonus-dystonia
Objective: To investigate cerebellar learning and its modifiability by alcohol in SGCE mutation-positive M-D using eye blink conditioning (EBC). Background: M-D is characterized by generalized…
