Anandamide activation of CB1 receptors increases spontaneous bursting and oscillatory activity in the thalamus
(Elsevier, 2014-02-05)
[Abstract] The endocannabinoid system is a modulatory system that has been strongly associated with the regulation of functions as learning and memory, pain perception and sensory physiology in many areas of the central ...
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 ...
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 ...
Low-cost virtual reality system in evaluation of rhythmic motor patterns in elderly and Parkinsonian patients
(MIT Press, 2014-04-30)
[Abstract] This work details a Virtual Reality (VR) system developed to evaluate
and potentially treat alterations in hand movements and central rhythm
formation in Parkinsonian and Elderly subjects. An essential feature ...
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 ...
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. ...
