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 ... -
Cross‑modal reaction of auditory and visual cortices after long‑term bilateral hearing deprivation in the rat
(Springer Nature, 2019-11-28)[Abstract] Visual cortex (VC) over-activation analysed by evoked responses has been demonstrated in congenital deafness and after longterm acquired hearing loss in humans. However, permanent hearing deprivation has not ... -
Different sources of nitric oxide mediate neurovascular coupling in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the cat
(Frontiers, 2009-09-08)[Abstract] Understanding the link between neuronal responses (NRs) and metabolic signals is fundamental to our knowledge of brain function and it is a milestone in our efforts to interpret data from modern non invasive ... -
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 ... -
Differential responses of spinal motoneurons to fatigue induced by short-lasting repetitive and isometric tasks
(Elsevier, 2016-10-24)[Abstract] Compared to isometric activities, the neural basis of fatigue induced by repetitive tasks has been scarcely studied. Recently, we showed that during short-lasting repetitive tasks at the maximal possible rate ... -
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 ... -
Effect of Stimulation Timing on Testing Voluntary Muscle Force Generation
(Elsevier, 2020-10-08)[Abstract] Background. The interpolated twitch technique (ITT) is a ubiquitous test for assessing the level of voluntary muscle force generation, in which muscle twitches are evoked via percutaneous electrical stimulation. ... -
Effects of a finger tapping fatiguing task on M1-intracortical inhibition and central drive to the muscle
(Nature, 2018)[Abstract] The central drive to the muscle reduces when muscle force wanes during sustained MVC, and this is generally considered the neurophysiological footprint of central fatigue. The question is if force loss and the ... -
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 ... -
Effects of Fatigue Induced by Repetitive Movements and Isometric Tasks on Reaction Time
(Elsevier, 2020-09-25)[Abstract] Purpose: The understanding of fatigue of the human motor system is important in the fields of ergonomics, sport, rehabilitation and neurology. In order to understand the interactions between fatigue and reaction ... -
Effects of movement imitation training in Parkinson's disease: a virtual reality pilot study
(Elsevier, 2016-05)[Abstract] Background. Hypometria is a clinical motor sign in Parkinson's disease. Its origin likely emerges from basal ganglia dysfunction, leading to an impaired control of inhibitory intracortical motor circuits. Some ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Endocannabinoid CB1 receptors modulate visual output from the thalamus
(Springer, 2011-07-20)[Abstract] Rationale Endocannabinoids have emerged as a modulatory brain system affecting different types of synapses, broadly distributed throughout the CNS, which explain the diverse psychophysical effects observed ... -
Factors related to greater functional recovery after suffering a stroke
(MDPI, 2021-06-17)[Abstract] Background: In a stroke, the importance of initial functional status is fundamental for prognosis. The aim of the current study was to investigate functional status, assessed by the Functional Independence ... -
Figure-ground modulation in awake primate thalamus
(National Academy of Sciences, 2015)[Abstract] Figure-ground discrimination refers to the perception of an object, the figure, against a nondescript background. Neural mechanisms of figure-ground detection have been associated with feedback interactions ... -
Hyperthermia-Induced Changes in EEG of Anesthetized Mice Subjected to Passive Heat Exposure
(Frontiers, 2021-09-09)[Abstract] Currently, the role of hypothermia in electroencephalography (EEG) is well-established. However, few studies have investigated the effect of hyperthermia on EEG, an important physiological parameter governing ... -
Influence of parental involvement and parenting styles in children's active lifestyle: a systematic review
(Peer J, 2023-12-21)[Abstract] Background: Parents influence their children's lifestyles through modeling and support, which modifies how children approach physical activity. As such, this systematic review aims to know the influence of ... -
