Description :
The technique of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows cortical motor areas to be activated by trains of magnetic stimuli at different frequencies and intensities. In this paper, we studied longterm neurophysiological effects of rTMS delivered to the motor cortex at 5 Hz with an...

Description :
The effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS; 20 stimuli at 5 Hz at 120% resting motor threshold intensity using a biphasic stimulus pulse) on the excitability of human motor cortex were investigated in two patients who had an electrode implanted into the cervical epidural space...

Description :
Trains of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimuli (rTMS) appear to have effects on corticospinal excitability that outlast the duration of the train. In order to investigate the mechanism of this effect in more detail we applied short periods of rTMS consisting of up to 20 stimuli at 5 Hz, 10 Hz or...

Description :
Primary adult-onset dystonia is thought to be partly genetic, but families large enough for a genome wide search are difficult to find. We examined the first-degree relatives of 76 primary adult-onset dystonia patients to assess the feasibility of model-free nonparametric methods that allow either s...

Tourette disorder spectrum maps to chromosome 14q31.1 in an Italian kindred
Description :
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a frequent neuropsychiatric disorder of unknown etiology. A number of chromosomal regions have been nominated as TS loci in linkage studies, but confirmation has met with limited success and causative mutations have not yet been definitely identified. Furthermore, TS, chron...

A cross-section analysis of FT3 age-related changes in a group of old and oldest-old subjects, including centenarians’ relatives, shows that a down-regulated thyroid function has a familial component and is related to longevity

Description :
Background: several studies suggest that a decreased thyroid activity might be favourable in oldest-old subjects and that subclinical thyroid hyperfunction may be detrimental.
