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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Antagonist muscle co-activation during straight walking and its relation to kinematics: Insight from young, elderly and Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier, 2012-03-21)[Abstract] Increased antagonist muscle co-activation of the lower limb during walking seems to be an adaptive process to the physiological changes of aging, in order to gain joint stability. In the healthy subjects this ... -
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 ...
