Neural plasticity based on the change of the glutamate receptors: Repetition of electrical stimulation for the reduction of Parkinsonian symptoms
Objective: This study investigated the fundamental mechanism how the repeated electrical stimulation (ES) affects the reduction of parkinsonian symptoms. Background: The reduced parkinsonian symptoms by…The impact of thalamic lesions on visuomotor behavior: A behavioral and fMRI study
Objective: Analysis of thalamic lesion-induced deficits on oculomotor and reaching behaviour: a psychophysical and fMRI study Background: Lesion studies and cortical connectivity suggest that higher-order…Pallidal and thalamic oscillations are associated with tic severity in patients with Tourette syndrome
Objective: The present study aimed at elucidating the pathophysiological role of pallidal and thalamic oscillatory local field potential (LFP) dynamics in patients with Tourette Syndrome.…Neuronal responses of pallidal and cerebellar receiving thalamic nuclei to neck exertion in cervical dystonia patients
Objective: The goal of the study was to find differences in spontaneous and neck-related activity of pallidal and cerebellar receiving thalamic nuclei in patients with…New evidence for thalamic dysfunction in Parkinsonian rats
Objective: Abnormal oscillatory activity within the cortico-basal ganglia (BG)-thalamo-cortical circuit has been observed in Parkinsonian state, especially of β and γ bands (βB and γB).…Improvement Observed in Children with combined GPi and VL Thalamus Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Secondary Dystonia
Objective: To present 5 children with Gpi and VL thalamus Deep-Brain Stimulation for treatment of secondary dystonia. Background: The target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in…Non-motor symptom burden is associated with thalamic atrophy in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether non-motor symptoms burden is associated with cortical and subcortical morphological changes in PD patients. Background: Non-motor symptoms are common aspects of…Transient loss of psychic self-activation following bilateral thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus stimulation for essential tremor
Objective: To report a case. Background: Loss of psychic self-activation or even akinetic mutism has rarely been described in patients who suffered bilateral thalamic insults.…Successful deep brain stimulation treatment of incapacitating tremor resulting from bilateral thalamic infarcts complicating surgery for Arnold Chiari malformation/syringomyelia.
Objective: To describe the clinical features of tremor associated with thalamic infarcts and its treatment with thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Background: Delayed onset involuntary…Novel Programming Strategy to Overcome Loss of Efficacy in Essential Tremor
Objective: A review of programming strategies to maintain tremor suppression adequate for functional satisfaction. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is FDA approved for Essential tremor since…
