New tools for old problems: magnetic stimulation to study (and help) the brain
(Springer Nature, 2017)
[Abstract] Magnetic stimulation techniques, either repetitive TMS (rTMS) or Static Magnetic Fields, allow to modulate brain activity through the skull in a non invasive and painless way. When rTMS is used, low frequencies ...
Cannabis, endocannabinoid CB1 receptors, and the neuropathology of vision
(Elsevier, 2016)
[Abstract] Cannabinoid (CB) receptors are widely distributed through the central nervous system, where they play a relevant role in various cognitive processes such as learning, memory, or attention. However, despite the ...
Vasomotion and Neurovascular Coupling in the Visual Thalamus In Vivo
(PLoS ONE, 2011-12-09)
[Abstract] Spontaneous contraction and relaxation of arteries (and in some instances venules) has been termed vasomotion and has
been observed in an extensive variety of tissues and species. However, its functions and ...
Magnetic field strength and reproducibility of neodymium magnets useful for transcranial static magnetic field stimulation of the human cortex
(Wiley, 2013-10-11)
[Abstract] Objective. The application of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) in humans reduces the excitability of the motor cortex for a few minutes after the end of stimulation. However, when tSMS is ...
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 ...
Bilateral tDCS on primary motor cortex: effects on fast arm reaching tasks
(PLoS, 2016-08-04)
[Abstract] Background.
The effects produced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the motor system have been widely studied in the past, chiefly focused on primary motor cortex (M1) excitability. ...
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 ...
Spatiotemporal gait patterns during overt and covert evaluation in patients with Parkinson’s disease and healthy subjects: is there a hawthorne effect?
(Human Kinetics, 2015)
[Abstract] Parkinson's disease (PD) and aging lead to gait impairments. Some of the disturbances of gait are focused on step length, cadence, and temporal variability of gait cycle. Under experimental conditions gait can ...
The tourism economy in Spain, 1900-1939: new sources, new methodologies and new results
(Francis & Taylor/Routledge, 2018)
[Abstract]: This paper explores the economic dimension of Spain's tourism resources during the first third
of the twentieth century using new quantitative and qualitative evidence. With this aim firstly
critically analyses ...
Ovine mesenchymal stromal cells: morphologic, phenotypic and functional characterization for osteochondral tissue engineering
(PLoS ONE, 2017-01-31)
[Abstract] Introduction. Knowledge of ovine mesenchymal stromal cells (oMSCs) is currently expanding. Tissue engineering combining scaffolding with oMSCs provides promising therapies for the treatment of osteochondral ...
