Article Abstract
Motor cortex stimulation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used for pain control. The authors report their results treating two patients with typical Parkinson disease. Unilateral motor cortex stimulation proved to be beneficial bilaterally. Motor cortex stimulation may represent a cost-effective alternative to deep brain stimulation.

Structural and functional neural correlates of sensorimotor deficits in progression of hepatic encephalopathy.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neurological condition that occurs as a complication of liver dysfunction that involves sensorimotor symptoms in addition to cognitive and behavioral changes, particularly in cases of severe liver disease or cirrhosis. Previous studies have reported spatially distributed structural and functional abnormalities related to HE, but the exact relationship between the structural and functional alterations with respect to disease progression remains unclear. In this study, we performed surface-based cortical thickness comparisons and functional connectivity (FC) analyses between three cross-sectional groups: healthy controls (HC, = 51), patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE, = 50), patients with overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE, = 51).

Background: Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that can induce neuroplastic changes in the underlying intracortical areas. It has significant potential in clinical and research settings for modulating cognitive and motor performance. Little is known about how TBS affects oxygenations levels within and across brain hemispheres during stimulation of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC).

Sound influences motor functions and sound perception is conversely modulated by locomotion. Accumulating evidence supports an interconnection between the auditory system and the basal ganglia (BG), which has functional implications on the interaction between the two systems. Substantial evidence now supports auditory cortex and auditory thalamus inputs to the tri-laminar region of the tail of the striatum (tTS) in rodents.

Perinatal stroke is a vascular injury occurring early in life, often resulting in motor deficits (hemiplegic cerebral palsy/HCP). Comorbidities may also include poor neuropsychological outcomes, such as deficits in memory. Previous studies have used resting state functional MRI (fMRI) to demonstrate that functional connectivity (FC) within hippocampal circuits is associated with memory function in typically developing controls (TDC) and in adults after stroke, but this is unexplored in perinatal stroke.

Aims: Decoding the motor intention by electroencephalography to control external devices is an effective method of helping spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to regain motor function. Still, SCI patients have much lower accuracy in the decoding of motor intentions compared to healthy individuals, which severely hampers the clinical application. However, the underlying neural mechanisms are still unknown.
