Peripherical Electrical Stimulation for Parkinsonian Tremor: A Systematic Review

Parkinsonian tremor is one of the most common motor disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Compared to oral medications and brain surgery, electrical stimulation approaches have emerged as effective and non-invasive methods for tremor reduction. The pathophysiology, detection and interventions of tremors have been introduced, however, a systematic review of peripherical electrical stimulation approaches, […]

Early Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Accelerates Presbycusis Altering Aging Processes in the Cochlea

Several studies identified hearing loss as a risk factor for aging-related processes, including neurodegenerative diseases, as dementia and age-related hearing loss (ARHL). Although the association between hearing impairment in midlife and ARHL has been widely documented by epidemiological and experimental studies, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association are not fully understood. In this study, we […]

Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation Increases Natural Oscillatory Frequency in Ipsilesional Motor Cortex Post-Stroke: A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Electroencephalography Study

ObjectiveIntermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) has been widely used as a neural modulation approach in stroke rehabilitation. Concurrent use of transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) offers a chance to directly measure cortical reactivity and oscillatory dynamics and allows for investigating neural effects induced by iTBS in all stroke survivors including individuals without recordable MEPs. […]
