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 ...
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 ...
Effects of rhythmic sensory stimulation (auditory, visual) on gait in Parkinson’s disease patients
(Springer, 2008-01-23)
[Abstract] This study has focused on how sensory stimulation affects gait in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The kinematic parameters of gait [cadence, step amplitude, velocity, coefficient of variation of stride time (CVstride-time), ...
Motor facilitation during real-time movement imitation in Parkinson’s disease: a virtual reality study
(Elsevier, 2013-08-06)
[Abstract] Background: Impaired temporal stability and poor motor unit recruitment are key impairments in Parkinsonian motor control during a whole spectrum of rhythmic movements, from simple finger tapping to gait. Therapies ...
Cross nearest-spike interval based method to measure synchrony dynamics
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2014-02)
[Abstract] A new synchrony index for neural activity is de ned in this paper.
The method is able to measure synchrony dynamics in low ring rate scenarios.
It is based on the computation of the time intervals between ...
Further observations on the role of nitric oxide in the feline lateral geniculate nucleus
(Wiley, 1996-01)
[Abstract] We have examined the responses of a population of 77 cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the anaesthetized, paralysed cat. Here the synthetic enzyme for the production of nitric oxide, nitric ...
Evaluation of the effect of training using auditory stimulation on rhythmic movement in Parkinsonian patients—a combined motor and [18F]-FDG PET study
(Elsevier, 2006)
[Abstract] Introduction: A programme of rehabilitation using auditory cues has previously been shown to decrease movement variability in the gait of Parkinsonian patients.
Objective and methods: We studied the temporal ...
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 ...
Alterations in microglial phenotype and hippocampal neuronal function in transgenic mice with astrocyte-targeted production of interleukin-10
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
[Abstract] Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a cytokine classically linked with anti-inflammatory and protective functions in the central nervous system (CNS) in different neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory conditions. In ...
Early visual processing during binocular rivalry studied with visual evoked potentials
(Lippincott, 1999)
[Abstract] Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were recorded to probes presented to the dominant and suppressed eyes in a binocular rivalry paradigm. Probes presented to the suppressed eye interrupted the current dominance ...
