Abstract Background Impaired movement preparation of both anticipatory postural adjustments and goal directed as shown by a marked reduction in the incidence StartReact responses during standing reaching task was reported individuals with stroke. We tested how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over region premotor areas (PMAs) primary motor area (M1) affect planning Methods...

The study used a vehicle-based driving simulator to evaluate two graphical displays, one showing risk probability in terms of safety margin (Time Headway, TH), and one showing risk severity in terms of Kinetic Energy (KE). Twenty-seven subjects were randomly allocated to one of three experimental conditions: Control, TH, and KE. Subjects undertook three driving tasks (ABA design). For the secon...

promontory stimulation testing is both a valuable diagnosic tool and a crucial step in candidate selection for cochlear implantation. in this study we have compared the promontory stimulation test results between different subsets of patients with hearing loss in order to clarify the aspects of promontory stimulation which correlate best with the patients'characierisiics. patients with severe t...

postdate pregnancy is estimated to occur in 3% to 12% of all gestations. morbidity and mortality rates associated with this common obstetric problem are higher than those with term gestation. the incidence of fetal distress, birth injury, meconium aspiration, congenital malformations, macrosomia, and oligohydramnios is also greater in postdate pregnancies. we prospectively evaluated breast self...

The research of functional stimulation of neural tissue is of great interest within the field of clinical neuroscience to further develop new neural prosthetics. A technique which has gained increased interest during the last couple of years is the stimulation of nervous tissue using infrared laser light. Successful results have been reported, such as stimulation of cells in both the central ne...

With the help of molecular dynamics simulations and an artificial sodium channel model, we corroborated that application terahertz stimulation at a characteristic frequency can largely increase permeability by factor 33.6. The mechanism is carboxylate groups in filter region transfer absorbed photon energy to ions, which ions’ kinetic energy; this results breaking hydrated hydrogen bonding netw...
