The growing use of non-invasive brain stimulation in clinical applications reflects its capabilities to transiently modulate cortical excitability, motor and cognitive functions in ways not possible with other techniques. Neurological disorders represent t ...
Despite the availability of various options for movement restoration in stroke patients, there is no effective treatment for patients who show little or no functional recovery of upper limb motor function. ...
Non-invasive brain stimulation has shown its potential to modulate brain plasticity in humans. Endeavour has been made to utilize brain stimulation in neurological diseases to enhance adaptive processes and prevent potential maladaptive ones. In stroke for ...
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to selectively modulate cortical responses in memory, motor and perceptual tasks. Here we show that this type of stimulation results in targeted enhancement of brain patterns elicited during mot ...

Healthy aging is accompanied by changes in cognitive and motor functions that result in impairment of activities of daily living. This process involves a number of modifications in the brain and is associated with metabolic, structural, and physiological c ...
These past few years the steady demand from end users has deeply stimulated the research in the field of distributed fibre sensors based on stimulated Brillouin scattering. Some recent progresses are here reported, pushing the limits beyond what has been c ...
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder in which cortical disinhibition has been proposed as a pathophysiological mechanism involved in the generation of tics. Tics are typically reduced during task performance and concentration. How ...
Healthy ageing is accompanied by limitations in performance of activities of daily living and personal independence. Recent reports demonstrated improvements in motor function induced by noninvasive anodal direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary m ...
In healthy subjects, preparation to move is accompanied by motor cortical disinhibition. Poor control of intracortical inhibitory function in the primary motor cortex (M1) might contribute to persistent abnormal motor behavior in the paretic hand after chr ...
Neuromuscular stimulation has been used as one potential rehabilitative treatment option to restore motor function and improve recovery in patients with paresis. Especially stroke patients who often regain only limited hand function would greatly benefit f ...
