The pull test in healthy subjects: Quantitative, posturographic and electromyographic analysis
Objective: To study the destabilizing force needed to reach the limit of stability (LoS), the displacements of the center of pressure (CoP) and the postural…Intraoperative localization of beta band and high-frequency oscillations within the subthalamic nucleus
Objective: To investigate whether beta band activity (13-30Hz) and high-frequency oscillations (150-400Hz) arise from the same spatial location within the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of Parkinson's…Heart rate variability and sympathetic skin response are useful in the evaluation of Parkinson’s disease, AMS, and Parkinson plus syndrome, but underutilized in daily clinical practice
Objective: Assess the heart rate (HR) coefficient of variance (CV) in three conditions: supine, active standing and during deep breathing; and measure the sympathetic skin…Globus pallidus interna oscillatory activity differentiates tics from voluntary movements and the Parkinsonian resting state
Objective: To describe local field potential (LFP) characteristics during tic acivity, voluntary activity, and the Parkinsonian resting state. Background: Deep brain stimulation is an emerging…Executive function and verbal fluency in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine whether the phonemic verbal fluency test is a purely cognitive measure or involves cognitive-motor interaction, if related to TMT. Background: Two of…Brain structural abnormalities in multiple system atrophy patients with cognitive impairment
Objective: To investigate the cerebral anatomical changes associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background: Mild cognitive deficits are frequently reported in…Movement execution but not preparation modulates somatosensory temporal discrimination thresholds in healthy subjects
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate in healthy subjects whether somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold (STDT) is influenced by movement execution and preparation.…Perception of time in music in Parkinson´s disease – Processing of musical syntax compensates rhythmic deficits
Objective: We investigated the time perception of Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients under the condition of music perception by detecting their individual temporal discrimination ability and…Postural and nonmotor disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate postural impairments (PI) and their interrelation with non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PI mechanisms are only partially known.…Stage dependent alteration of cortical excitability in patients with hepatic encephalopathy
Objective: To evaluate cortical excitability in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Background: HE is a neuropsychiatric disorder manifesting with movement…
