1. Pallidal deep brain stimulation modulates cortical excitability and plasticity Abstract Objective: Internal globus pallidus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) relieves symptoms in dystonia patients. However, the physiological effects produced by GPi DBS are not fully understood. In particular, how a single-pulse GPi DBS changes cortical circuits has never been investigated. We studied the modulation of motor cortical excitability and...
2. Motor cortex synchronization influences the rhythm of motor performance in premanifest huntington’s disease ABSTRACT Background: In Huntington’s disease there is evidence of structural damage in the motor system, but it is still unclear how to link this to the behavioral disorder of movement. One feature of choreic movement is variable timing and coordination between sequences of actions. We postulate this results from desynchronization...

4. Cortical plasticity of motor-eloquent areas measured by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with glioma Journal of Neurosurgery, Ahead of Print. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying cerebral plasticity. Coupled with noninvasive detection of its occurrence, such an understanding has huge potential to improve glioma therapy. The authors aimed to demonstrate the frequency of plastic...
