Dopaminergic effects on encoding of a motor memory in chronic stroke
The effects of a single oral dose of levodopa administered in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over design on formation of a motor memory were studied by a training protocol in patients with chronic stroke. Levodopa enhanced the ability ...
2005Effects of non-invasive cortical stimulation on skilled motor function in chronic stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of adult motor disability. Despite recent progress, recovery of motor function after stroke is usually incomplete. This double blind, Sham-controlled, crossover study was designed to test the hypothesis that non-invasive stimulati ...
Oxford University Press2005Ambulatory analysis of gait and posture in Parkinson's disease: a novel method based on kinematics sensors
Introduction:Gait and posture in PD patients are generally analyzed in laboratory. However, laboratory techniques do not allow estimating long-term ON/OFF fluctuation in PD patients. Here, we propose an ambulatory system based on kinematic sensors that det ...
2005Influence of imagined posture and imagery modality on corticospinal excitability
Single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to test the assumption that kinesthetic imagery of action is more 'motor' than visual imagery of action. We assessed corticospinal excitability during motor imagery of a thumb-palm opposition mo ...
Elsevier2005Improvement of motor function with noninvasive cortical stimulation in a patient with chronic stroke
This manuscript reports the effects of transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS), a technique that enhances cortical plasticity in healthy humans, on motor function in a patient with chronic subcortical ischemic stroke. tDCS but not sham applied in a double-blind ...
2005Fingerprinting Agent-Environment Interaction via Information Theory
In this paper, we investigate by means of statistical and information-theoretic measures, to what extent sensory-motor coordinated activity can generate and structure information in the sensory channels of a simulated agent interacting with its surrounding ...
