Plasticity and intracortical inhibition in dystonia--methodological reconsiderations.
Sir, We would like to thank Dr Rosenkrantz for her interest in our recent paper on physiological differences between patients with psychogenic and organic forms of limb dystonia. We are also very grateful for the opportunity to discuss in detail the connection between input–output relationships and effects of paired associative stimulation (PAS). It is a topic of some confusion among those who ...
متن کاملImpaired modulation of intracortical inhibition in focal hand dystonia.
Previous studies have shown that intracortical inhibition (ICI) plays an important role in shaping the output from primary motor cortex, and that ICI may be impaired in people with Focal Hand Dystonia (FHD). This study explored the muscle-specificity and temporal modulation of ICI during the performance of a phasic index finger flexion task. Eight control subjects and seven with FHD were asked ...
متن کاملShort intracortical and surround inhibition are selectively reduced during movement initiation in focal hand dystonia.
In patients with focal hand dystonia (FHD), pathological overflow activation occurs in muscles not involved in the movement. Surround inhibition is a neural mechanism that can sharpen desired movement by inhibiting unwanted movement in adjacent muscles. To further establish the phenomenon of surround inhibition and to determine whether short intracortical inhibition (SICI) reflecting inhibition...
متن کاملReconsiderations
“Artificial Intelligence Prepares for 2001.” An article, based on that talk, was published soon after in AI Magazine. In this article, I retract or modify some of the points made in that piece and reaffirm others. Specifically, I now acknowledge the many important facets of AI research beyond high-level reasoning but maintain my view about the importance of integrated AI systems, such as mobile...
متن کاملReducing intracortical inhibition in the adult visual cortex promotes ocular dominance plasticity.
Experience-dependent plasticity in the cortex is often higher during short critical periods in postnatal development. The mechanisms limiting adult cortical plasticity are still unclear. Maturation of intracortical GABAergic inhibition is suggested to be crucial for the closure of the critical period for ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in the visual cortex. We find that reduction of GABAergic ...
