Neural interface technology for rehabilitation: exploiting and promoting neuroplasticity.
This article reviews neural interface technology and its relationship with neuroplasticity. Two types of neural interface technology are reviewed, highlighting specific technologies that the authors directly work with: (1) neural interface technology for neural recording, such as the micro-ECoG BCI system for hand prosthesis control, and the comprehensive rehabilitation paradigm combining MEG-B...
متن کاملTargeted neuroplasticity for rehabilitation.
An operant-conditioning protocol that bases reward on the electromyographic response produced by a specific CNS pathway can change that pathway. For example, in both animals and people, an operant-conditioning protocol can increase or decrease the spinal stretch reflex or its electrical analog, the H-reflex. Reflex change is associated with plasticity in the pathway of the reflex as well as els...
متن کاملGuest Editorial - Neuroplasticity and rehabilitation
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the central nervous system to remodel itself. In the last few decades, we have learned that neuroplasticity is not only possible but that it is also constantly occurring; the brain is always changing. Neuroplasticity is how we adapt to changing conditions, learn new facts, and develop new skills. If the brain is injured, it tries to repair itself with these nor...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity and Motor Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis
INTRODUCTION Motor symptoms are common and disabling across the phases and forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Disease modifying treatments help to prevent their development, but most of their management is through rehabilitation. Current rehabilitation approaches are based on physical therapy tailored to the individual’s needs (1). The efficacy of these approaches, however, is limited, as it is ...
متن کاملThe neuroimmune-neuroplasticity interface and brain pathology
It is now well-established that the brain, although immune privileged, has fundamental interactions with elements of the immune system. Perhaps, one of the most exciting aspects of such neuroimmune communication, has been the notion that peripheral derived immune factors (e.g., lymphocytes and cytokines), as well as central glia (particularly microglia) are thought to participate in the modulat...
