Bursting thalamic responses in awake monkey contribute to visual detection and are modulated by corticofugal feedback
(Frontiers, 2014-05-30)
[Abstract] The lateral geniculate nucleus is the gateway for visual information en route to the visual
cortex. Neural activity is characterized by the existence of two firing modes: burst and
tonic. Originally associated ...
Effects of static magnetic fields on the visual cortex: reversible visual deficits and reduction of neuronal activity
(Oxford, 2014-09-26)
[Abstract] Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been successfully used to modulate brain activity, have become a highly useful tool in basic and clinical research and, recently, have attracted increased attention ...
Can pathway-specific LFPs be obtained in cytoarchitectonically complex structures?
(Frontiers, 2014-05-01)
[Abstract] Deciphering how the brain encodes the continuous flow of information contained in natural stimuli requires understanding the spontaneous activity of functional assemblies in multiple neuronal populations. A ...
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 ...
