Objectives Guidelines recommend to initiate anticoagulation within 4‐14 days after cardioembolic stroke. Data supporting this did not account for key factors potentially affecting the decision to initiate anticoagulation such as infarct…

Abstract In cortical circuitry synaptic communication across areas is based on two types of axon terminals, small and large, with modulatory and driving roles, respectively. In contrast, it is not known whether similar synaptic…

Abstract Short‐interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) is often assessed to investigate inhibitory responses in the primary motor cortex representation of the quadriceps. However, determining appropriate paired‐pulse transcranial magnetic…

Abstract The systems consolidation of memory during slow wave‐sleep (SWS) is thought to rely on a dialogue between hippocampus and neocortex that is regulated by an interaction between neocortical slow oscillations (SOs), thalamic spindles,…

Abstract The basal ganglia play a crucial role in the control of voluntary movements. Neurons in both the external and internal segments of the globus pallidus, the connecting and output nuclei of the basal ganglia, respectively, change…

Abstract Everyday memories are retained automatically in the hippocampus and then decay very rapidly. Memory retention can be boosted when novel experiences occur shortly before or shortly after the time of memory encoding via a memory…

The Neuroscientist, Ahead of Print. For 150 years artificial stimulation has been used to study the function of the nervous system. Such stimulation—whether electrical or optogenetic—eventually may be used in neuroprosthetic devices to…

The Neuroscientist, Ahead of Print. Delusions are irrational, tenacious, and incorrigible false beliefs that are the most common symptom of a range of brain disorders including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. In the…

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has significant effects on motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), but existing studies on the effect of DBS on speech are rather inconclusive. It is assumed that deficits in auditory-motor integration…

Introduction: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD)-related syndrome includes progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS). PSP is usually caused by a tauopathy but can have associated Alzheimer's disease (AD)…
