Changes in Visual Responses in the Feline dLGN: Selective Thalamic Suppression Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of V1
(Oxford University Press, 2006-08-14)
[Abstract] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cortex can modify activity noninvasively and produce either excitatory or inhibitory effects, depending on stimulus parameters. Here we demonstrate controlled ...
Differential feedback modulation of center and surround mechanisms in parvocellular cells in the visual thalamus
(Society of Neuroscience, 2012-11-07)
[Abstract] Many cells in both the central visual system and other sensory systems exhibit a center surround organization in their receptive field, where the response to a centrally placed stimulus is modified when a ...
Responses of primate LGN cells to moving stimuli involve a constant background modulation by feedback from area MT
(Elsevier, 2013-05-03)
[Abstract] The feedback connections from the cortical middle temporal (MT) motion area, to layer 6 of the primary visual cortex (V1), have the capacity to drive a cascaded feedback influence from the layer 6 cortico-geniculate ...
Balancing the excitability of M1 circuitry during movement observation without overt replication
(Frontiers, 2014-09-17)
[Abstract] Although observation of a movement increases the excitability of the motor system
of the observer, it does not induce a motor replica. What is the mechanism for
replica suppression? We performed a series of ...
The effects of expectancy on corticospinal excitability: passively preparing to observe a movement
(American Physiological Society, 2014-01-08)
[Abstract] The corticospinal tract excitability is modulated when preparing movements. Earlier to movement execution, the excitability of the spinal cord increases waiting for supraspinal commands to release the movement. ...
The primate pulvinar nuclei: vision and action
(Elsevier, 2000)
[Abstract] The pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus are proportionately larger in higher mammals, particularly in primates, and account for a quarter of the total mass. Traditionally, these nuclei have been divided into oral ...
Visual response augmentation in cat (and macaque) LGN: potentiation by corticofugally mediated gain control in the temporal domain
(Wiley, 2001-12-24)
[Abstract] Visual responses of neurons are dependent on the context of a stimulus, not only in spatial terms but also temporally, although evidence for temporally separate visual influences is meagre, based mainly on studies ...
Central fatigue induced by short-lasting finger tapping and isometric tasks: a study of silent periods evoked at spinal and supraspinal levels
(Elsevier, 2015-08-01)
[Abstract] The neural substrates of fatigue induced by muscular activity have been addressed in depth in relation to isometric tasks. For these activities, when fatigue develops, it has been noted that the duration of the ...
Effects on EEG of low (1Hz) and high (15Hz) frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the visual cortex: a study in the anesthetized cat
(Bentham Open, 2007-12-07)
[Abstract] Here we confirm our earlier findings that showed 1Hz rTMS over the primary visual cortex of the anesthetized cat, known to cause inhibition of the cortex, induces an increase in power in the slow, delta band of ...
Double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial on the effect of 10 days low-frequency rTMS over the vertex on sleep in Parkinson’s disease
(Elsevier, 2010-07-31)
[Abstract] Objective: A recent report indicates repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) improves sleep
in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of 10 days rTMS on sleep ...
