Epilepsy is a common, debilitating neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Mood disorders and cognitive deficits are common comorbidities in epilepsy that, like seizures, profoundly influence quality of life and can be difficult to treat. For patients with refractory epilepsy who are not candidates for resection, neurostimulation, the electrical modulation of epileptogenic br...

Phantom-limb pain (PLP) belongs among difficult-to-treat chronic pain syndromes. Treatment options for PLP are to a large degree implicated by the level of understanding the mechanisms and nature of PLP. Research and clinical findings acknowledge the neuropathic nature of PLP and also suggest that both peripheral as well as central mechanisms, including neuroplastic changes in central nervous s...

Symposium title: Non-invasive brain stimulation in pediatric epilepsy: Diagnostic, biomarker, and therapeutic applications of TMS description: Many diagnostic approaches for epilepsy require invasive approaches. However, populations, non-invasive are preferred. Hence, centers have begun using the (NIBS) technique transcranial magnetic (TMS) functional, mapping eloquent cortex prior to surgery. ...

Prognostic equations for the rain mass mixing ratio and the rain drop number concentration are introduced into the large-scale cloud microphysics parameterization of the ECHAM5 general circulation model (ECHAM5-RAIN). For this a rain flux from one level to the next with the appropriate fall speed is introduced. This maintains rain water in 5 the atmosphere to be available for the next time step...

This study proposes and clinically tests intramuscular electrical stimulation below motor threshold to achieve prolonged reduction of wrist flexion/extension tremor in Essential Tremor (ET) patients. The developed system consisted an thin-film electrode structure that included both electromyography (EMG) recording electrodes, a control algorithm for the timing based on EMG (closed-loop stimulat...
