Suppression of V1 feedback produces a shift in the topographic representation of receptive fields of LGN cells by unmasking latent retinal drives
(Oxford, 2017-03-18)
[Abstract] In awake monkeys, we used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to focally inactivate visual cortex while measuring the responsiveness of parvocellular lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) neurons. ...
Bootstrap testing for cross-correlation under low firing activity
(Springer, 2015-04-14)
[Abstract] A new cross-correlation synchrony index for neural activity is proposed. The index is based on the integration of the kernel estimation of the cross-correlation function. It is used to test for the dynamic ...
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 ...
Spectroscopic measurement of cortical nitric oxide release induced by ascending activation
(Elsevier, 2014-11-25)
[Abstract] The transition from sleep to the awake state is regulated by the activation of subcortical nuclei of the brainstem (BS) and basal forebrain (BF), releasing acetylcholine and glutamate throughout the cortex and ...
Cortical Modulation of the Transient Visual Response at Thalamic Level: A TMS Study
(PLoS ONE, 2011-02-10)
[Abstract] The transient visual response of feline dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) cells was studied under control conditions
and during the application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at 1 Hz ...
Effects of early or late-evening fatiguing physical activity on sleep quality in non-professional sportsmen
(Edizioni Minerva Médica, 2016-05-01)
[Abstract]
Background: This study aims to understand whether night sleep-quality is distorted by fatiguing physical activity (PA) when conducted early or late in the evening.
Methods: Nine males (18-38yrs) performed ...
The implications of diabetic foot health-related with quality of life: A retrospective case control investigation
(Elsevier, 2022-07-14)
[Abstract] The diabetes people show a significant presence of foot health problems are usually all over the world, causing in big economic effects for these persons, their families and world population OBJECTIVE: The purpose ...
Efficacy of Bracing on Thoracic Kyphotic Angle and Functionality in Women with Osteoporosis: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2022-05-24)
[Abstract] Background and purpose: Osteoporotic hyperkyphosis is associated with adverse outcomes, such as fatigue, back pain, or reduced back extensor strength, with a negative impact on functionality and quality of life. ...
