Original Source: Deep Brain Stimulation and Motor Cortical Stimulation for Neuropathic Pain.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an important treatment option for neuropathic pain. DBS has a considerable history, and it can be used successfully for a wide number of pain syndromes. Epidural motor cortex stimulation (MCS) also is a treatment option for neuropathic pain. Less invasive than DBS, MCS has been rapidly adopted and studied since first described in 1991. A growing body of literature supports the use of MCS for facial pain, though further study to better define the mechanism of action and the mo...

Magnetic brain stimulation aids stroke victims' motor function
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has a moderate beneficial effect on motor function in stroke patients, according to a meta-analysis.
In this issue of The Lancet Neurology, Vincent Odekerken and colleagues report the results of the Netherlands subthalamic and pallidal stimulation (NSTAPS) trial—a randomised controlled trial of dee...
Overexpression of BCL6 results in transformation of neural stem cells into cortical neurons
The cerebral cortex is the most complex structure in our brain and the seat of consciousness, emotion, motor control and language. In order to fulfill these functions, it is composed of a diverse arra...
Convergent cortical innervation of striatal projection neurons
Prior anatomical studies have suggested that intratelencephalic (IT) and pyramidal tract (PT) cortical neurons project to different populations of striatal spiny projection neurons (SPNs). Here, the a...
Transcranial stimulation improves symptoms of Tourette’s
A month of daily transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting the supplemental motor area results in lasting improvements in symptoms of Tourette syndrome, show study findings.
DBS achieves stable motor improvements in Parkinson’s
Deep brain stimulation for patients with Parkinson’s disease achieves improvements in motor symptoms that are sustained over 3 years, report researchers.
Great Lakes NeuroTechnologies announced today the product launch of Kinesia ProView™ to visualize motor symptom severity response during programming of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’...
Deep Brain Stimulation May Offer Longer-Term Relief for Parkinson's
WEDNESDAY, June 20 -- Deep brain stimulation, a treatment that involves the surgical implantation of wires in the brain that deliver an electrical current, could improve motor functions for at least t...

Cerebellar Stimulation in Ataxia.
The cerebellum plays an important role in movement execution and motor control by modulation of the primary motor cortex (M1) through cerebello-thalamo-cortical connections. Transcranial magnetic stim...
The cerebral cortex is tightly and reciprocally linked to the cerebellum and the ascending dentato-thalalmo-cortical pathway influences widespread cortical regions. Using a rodent model of middle cere...
Neuroplasticity in Depressed Individuals Compared to Healthy Controls.
Several lines of evidence suggest that neuroplasticity is impaired in depression. This study aimed to compare neuroplasticity in 23 subjects with DSM-IV Major Depressive Episode and 23 age and gender...
Magnetic stimulation intensity modulates motor inhibition.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a standard tool in neuroscience research and therapy. Here we study one rTMS property that has not received adequate attention, the interaction o...
Applicability of nTMS in locating the motor cortical representation areas in patients with epilepsy.
BACKGROUND: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is increasingly used for non-invasive functional mapping in preoperative evaluation for brain surgery, and the reliability of navigated TMS (nTMS) m...
