Objectives: Recent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies demonstrate that motor cortex excitability is increased in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and that intracortical inhibitory phenomena are impaired. The aim of the present study was to determine whether hyperexcitability is due to the impairment of intracortical inhibitory circuits or to an independent abnormality of excitatory circuit...

Abstract Objective Cognitive impairments are commonly seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, identification and tracking of cognitive deficits not always part treatment plans. Cholinergic with rivastigmine has demonstrated beneficial effects on cognition gait stability PD-dementia, but less evidence exists PD-mild impairment. We investigated the a 3-month open-label pilot study. Method 31 p...
