Successful Treatment of Epilepsy with Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors: Proposed Mechanism
The widely used antidepressants Specific Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) have been tried with success as anticonvulsants in cases of nonsymptomatic epilepsy. This attempt was performed on the basis of exp...

Focal cerebral ischemia and patent cardiac foramen ovale
By means of transthoracic contrast echocardiography, the prevalence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) was studied, in a continuous series of 48 patients aged less than 50 years with a recent episode of acute cer...

Motor evoked potentials following cervical electrical stimulation in brachial plexus lesions
The diagnostic relevance of recording motor evoked potentials (MEPs) after electrical stimulation of the cervical region, as compared with conventional needle electromyography (EMG), was evaluated in 26 patien...

Do muscle afferents contribute to the cervical response evoked by electrical stimulation of the median nerve in man?
The possible contribution of low threshold muscle afferents to the postsynaptic component (N13) of the cervical response evoked by electrical stimulation of the median nerve (MN) was investigated in normal subjec...

Somatosensory evoked potentials in lacunar syndromes
Parietal and prerolandic somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to median nerve stimulation were recorded from 40 patients with lacunar syndromes due to CT-verified lacunar infarcts. The control group consiste...

Electrophysiological analysis of motor control in patients with vascular hemichorea
An AMG analysis of motor control was performed in 4 patients with unilateral choreic movements of sudden onset, 3 of whom presented CT scan evidence of lacunar infarcts involving the contralateral striatum. Th...

Facilitation and inhibition of synaptic transmission in the spinal cord: an electroneurographic study in humans
The neurographic activity evoked either by stimulation of the tibial nerve at the popliteal fossa or by percussion of the Achilles tendon has been recorded at lumbar and thigh levels, in order to find out whet...

Accelerated synaptic transmission in nucleus ventralis-postero-lateralis during deep sleep
It is clear that during deep sleep the response evoked in the somatosensory cortex of the cat by shocks to the cutaneous nerve or medial lemniscus is not only higher2 but has a shorter latency as well. Our experi...

Responses evoked by stimulation of the acoustic pathway during the sleep-wakefulness cycle
Lo studio delle risposte evocate nelle radiazioni acustiche e nelle arec acustiche primarie da stimolazione delle vie uditive centrali dimostra che: (a) la trasmissione degli impulsi ascendenti a livello del c...

Somatic evoked responses in cats during natural sleep
Le risposte corticali evocate da stimoli somatici, sia periferici che centrali, aumentano di ampiezza durante il sonno profondo. Tale amplificazione è dovuta, almeno in parte, ad una facilitata trasmissione de...
