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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Bilateral tDCS on primary motor cortex: effects on fast arm reaching tasks
(PLoS, 2016-08-04)[Abstract] Background. The effects produced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the motor system have been widely studied in the past, chiefly focused on primary motor cortex (M1) excitability. ... -
Bootstrap testing for cross-correlation under low firing activity
(Springer, 2015-04-14)[Abstract] A new cross-correlation synchrony index for neural activity is proposed. The index is based on the integration of the kernel estimation of the cross-correlation function. It is used to test for the dynamic ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Central fatigue induced by short-lasting finger tapping and isometric tasks: a study of silent periods evoked at spinal and supraspinal levels
(Elsevier, 2015-08-01)[Abstract] The neural substrates of fatigue induced by muscular activity have been addressed in depth in relation to isometric tasks. For these activities, when fatigue develops, it has been noted that the duration of the ... -

Controlled trial on the effect of 10 days low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor signs in Parkinson´s disease
(Wiley, 2010-07-28)[Abstract] We evaluated the effect of low-frequency rTMS on motor signs in Parkinson’s disease (PD), under a doubleblind placebo-controlled trial design. PD patients were randomly assigned to received either real (n 5 ... -
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 ...
