Investigating the plastic effects of rapid paired associative stimulation in dystonia
Objective: To investigate the effects of rapid paired associative stimulation (PAS) in organic and psychogenic dystonia to see if this technique can differentiate them. Background:…Botulinum toxin A injections changes sensorimotor network activations in cervical dystonia to state more related to physiological condition
Objective: To evaluate botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) effectiveness on network in sensorimotor circuits. Background: Involvement of many cerebellar structures, such basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, premotor…Effects of cerebellar theta-burst stimulation on arm and neck movement kinematics in patients with focal dystonia
Objective: To investigate the influence of the cerebellum on the motor cortex in primary focal dystonia using cerebellar continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) and to evaluate…Sensory gating and inhibition in dystonia
Objective: By performing an extensive evaluation of neurophysiological measurements accounting for inhibitory mechanisms within the S1, we aim to find if a central nervous system…Dystonia after peripheral nerve injury in DYT1 transgenic rats
Objective: To trigger a dystonic phenotype in a non-dystonic rat DYT1 model by inducing a peripheral nerve injury and to describe a new clinical scoring…Digitally captured Archimedes spiral indices correlate with clinical assessment of dystonia severity
Objective: To determine whether digitized spiral analysis captures severity of dystonia in comparison to motor scores from the clinical gold standard, the Burke-Fahn-Marsden rating scale…Robust sensorimotor deficits in a knock-in mouse model of primary torsion dystonia
Objective: The aim of present study was to (1) generate more powerful tests to detect robust behavioral alterations in the DYT1 knock-in mouse model of…A dynamic causal model of the superior colliculus: Inhibitory activity increases with the temporal discrimination threshold
Objective: To investigate if abnormalities observed in the putamen of unaffected first-degree relatives (of cervical dystonia patients) with abnormal temporal discrimination thresholds (TDT) are a…Pallidal low frequency activity correlates with dystonic symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between pallidal 4–12 Hz activity and symptom severity as quantified by the Toronto…Faithful SGCE imprinting in iPSC-derived cortical neurons: An endogenous model system of myoclonus-dystonia
Objective: To test the potential of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons from Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) patients when studying specific epigenetic and brain-specific aspects of…
