Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, constitute a major socioeconomic burden. As clinical prevalence dramatically increases, the need for disease-modifying therapies is pressing. In this context, regenerative medicine are considered promising strategy treatment of these patients, due to low turnover neural tissues and extensive neurodegeneration. The transplant exog...

The multifocal application of transcranial lowvoltage pulsed electromagnetic fields (T-PEMF) has been shown to have an antidepressant effect in patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression (1). This proof-of-principle study had a sham-controlled, double blind study design in which sham (n = 25) or active (n = 25) T-PEMF treatment was self-administered by the patients on all weekdays f...

Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Despite the high incidence and mortality of stroke, sensitive and specific brain-based biomarkers predicting persisting disabilities are lacking. Both neuroimaging techniques like electroencephalography (EEG) and non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have proven useful in p...
