The role of glyclinergic interneurons in the dorsal column nuclei
(Elsevier, 2004-03-12)[Abstract] The aim of this paper is to provide new insights about the circuitry and the role of the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) in processing somatosensory information. The presence of glycinergic cells, a second type of ... -
The role of nitric oxide in the transformation of visual information within the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the cat
(Elsevier, 1994)[Abstract] We have shown that application of an inhibitor of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) effectively suppresses the visual responses of relay cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the anaesthetized ... -
Tonic and bursting activity in the cuneate nucleus of the chloralose-anesthetized cat
(Elsevier, 1998)[Abstract] Whole-cell recordings were obtained from cuneate neurons in anesthetized, paralysed cats. Stimulation of the contralateral medial lemniscus permitted us to separate projection cells from presumed interneurons. ... -
Transcranial magnetic stimulation over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in Parkinson’s disease
(Elsevier, 2006-11-09)[Abstract] Objective Several studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is effective in the treatment of depression in patients with ... -
Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation of the human motor cortex
(Wiley, 2001-08-01)[Abstract] The aim of the present study was to investigate in healthy humans the possibility of a non-invasive modulation of motor cortex excitability by the application of static magnetic fields through the scalp. Static ... -
Transcranial static magnetic stimulation reduces seizures in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome
(Elsevier, 2023-10-24)[Abstract] Dravet syndrome is a rare form of severe genetic epilepsy characterized by recurrent and long-lasting seizures. It appears around the first year of life, with a quick evolution toward an increase in the frequency ... -
Validity of the finger tapping test in Parkinson’s disease, elderly and young healthy subjects: is there a role for central fatigue?
(Elsevier, 2012-05-03)[Abstract] Objective: The main goal of this work is to evaluate the validity of the finger tapping test (FT) to detect alterations in rhythm formation. Methods: We use FT to study the alterations in motor rhythm in three ... -
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 ... -
Virtual Reality as a Tool for Evaluation of Repetitive Rhythmic Movements in the Elderly and Parkinson’s Disease Patients
(PLoS ONE, 2012-01-18)[Abstract] This work presents an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) system to evaluate, and potentially treat, the alterations in rhythmic hand movements seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the elderly (EC), by comparison ... -
Visual response augmentation in cat (and macaque) LGN: potentiation by corticofugally mediated gain control in the temporal domain
(Wiley, 2001-12-24)[Abstract] Visual responses of neurons are dependent on the context of a stimulus, not only in spatial terms but also temporally, although evidence for temporally separate visual influences is meagre, based mainly on studies ...
