چکیده
For many diseases various methods for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring are available. Presently, such methods are not established for an investigation of tremor diseases, although the different forms of tremor are common neurological symptoms and occur frequently in various neurological diseases and also other conditions. We developed an easy-to-use application for tremor-analysis and recording, running under MS-Windows, that allows us to investigate different forms of tremor by advanced mathematical methods of time series analysis. The application is also applicable for users who are not familiar with these kind of advanced data analysis methods. It provides tools for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring under laboratory conditions, based on previously developed and established methods of spectral and cross spectral analysis of tremor and electromyographic time series.

Minocycline Mitigation of Tremor Syndrome and Defect of Cognitive and Balance Induced by Harmaline
Introduction: Minocycline has anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-oxidant effects. Preclinical data suggest that minocycline could be beneficial for treating common neurological disorders, including Parkinson disease and multiple sclerosis. Methods: In this study, the effects of minocycline on harmaline-induced motor and cognitive impairments were studied in male Wistar rats. The rats ...
متن کاملA new method for acquisition and analysis of single unit recording data
Single unit recording has been used as a well-known technique to study the electrical behavior of neurons. In this respect, the classical methods are rather expensive. In this study a simple and inexpensive method for single unit recording studies has been introduced. Computer sound card was used for data acquisition. Neural responses were saved via simple sound applicable packages and then ana...
