The effects of early exercise on brain damage and recovery after focal cerebral infarction in rats
AIM Exercise can be used to enhance neuroplasticity and facilitate motor recovery after a stroke in rats. We investigated whether treadmill running could reduce brain damage and enhance the expression of midkine (MK) and nerve growth factor (NGF), increase angiogenesis and decrease the expression of caspase-3. METHODS Seventy-seven Wistar rats were split into three experimental groups (ischae...
متن کاملBehavior After Brain Infarction in Rats
Background and Purpose: Functional tests that are stable and consistent over time are an advantage for long-term evaluation of treatment in experimental stroke research. Because little information on this subject is available in rodents with focal cerebral ischemia, we investigated the outcome of three behavioral tests for a period of 3 months after the insult. Methods: Spontaneously hypertensi...
متن کاملMotor cortex excitability in focal epilepsies not including the primary motor area--a TMS study.
It is unclear whether focal epilepsies chronically influence the processing of cortex distant to the epileptogenic zone. Therefore, motor cortex excitability was analysed in patients with temporal and extratemporal epilepsies whose epileptogenic zones did not include the primary motor area. Single and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied to the primary motor cortex i...
متن کاملThe activity in the contralateral primary motor cortex, dorsal premotor and supplementary motor area is modulated by performance gains
There is growing experimental evidence that the engagement of different brain areas in a given motor task may change with practice, although the specific brain activity patterns underlying different stages of learning, as defined by kinematic or dynamic performance indices, are not well understood. Here we studied the change in activation in motor areas during practice on sequences of handwriti...
متن کاملHomeostatic-like plasticity of the primary motor hand area is impaired in focal hand dystonia.
The excitability of inhibitory circuits in patients with writer's cramp is reduced at multiple levels within the sensorimotor system, including the primary motor hand area (M1). Although this may play a major role in the pathophysiology of writer's cramp, it is still unclear what factors may cause the imbalance between inhibition and excitation to arise. One possibility is that homeostatic mech...
