Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/acn3.670
Abstract: Cataplexy is a complicated and dynamic process in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) patients. This study aimed to clarify the distinct stages during a cataplectic attack and identify the changes of the primary motor cortex (PMC)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ejp.1238
Abstract: Transcranial direct‐current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the primary motor cortex has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a number of chronic pain conditions. However, there is a lack of understanding of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24758
Abstract: Diffusion functional magnetic resonance imaging (dfMRI) is a promising technique to map functional activations by acquiring diffusion‐weighed spin‐echo images. In previous studies, dfMRI showed higher spatial accuracy at activation mapping compared to classic functional MRI… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25101
Abstract: Abstract Precise and comprehensive mapping of somatotopic representations in the motor cortex is clinically essential to achieve maximum resection of brain tumours whilst preserving motor function, especially since the current gold standard, that is, intraoperative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25881
Abstract: Brain stimulation combined with intensive therapy may improve hand function in children with perinatal stroke‐induced unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). However, response to therapy varies and underlying neuroplasticity mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we aimed to characterize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.26938
Abstract: In Parkinson's disease (PD), dopamine depletion causes major changes in the brain, resulting in the typical cardinal motor features of the disease. PD neuropathology has been restricted to postmortem examinations, which are limited to only… read more here.
