Visual-stress-related cortical excitability as a prospective marker for symptoms of depression and anxiety in young people
Visual stress is thought to reflect cortical excitability and has been associated with many neurological, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental...

Exploratory genome-wide analyses of cortical inhibition, facilitation, and plasticity in late-life depression
Late-life depression (LLD) is a heterogenous mood disorder influenced by genetic factors. Cortical physiological processes such as cortical...
-
Anesthesia inhibited corticospinal excitability and attenuated the modulation of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
BackgroundLots of studies have measured motor evoked potential (MEP) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in anesthetized animals....
