Combined cognitive, psychomotor and electrophysiological biomarkers in major depressive disorder
The diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) should be based on multimodal evidence, because MDD not only affects mood, but also psychomotor and cognitive functions. Clinical markers such as executive dysf...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in schizophrenia with treatment-refractory auditory hallucinations and major self-mutilation
Major self-mutilation is one of the most hazardous complications encountered in psychiatric patients, and is generally associated with auditory verbal hallucinations as part of a psychotic syndrome. This case ...

Intra- and inter-cortical motor excitability in Alzheimer’s disease
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) provides evidence for facilitatory and inhibitory motor dysfunctions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The corpus callosum (CC) is affected in AD already at early stages cons...

Influence of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on psychomotor symptoms in major depression
Psychomotor symptoms related to an impairment of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system are frequent in major depression (MD). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been discussed as a new tre...

Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity in depressive subjects relates to motor asymmetry and impaired word fluency
Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity (SNH) is a characteristic transcranial sonography (TCS) finding in Parkinson’s disease (PD). SNH, found also in about 10% of healthy adults, was related to a subclinical malf...

Intracortical motor inhibition and facilitation in adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), disturbed facilitatory and inhibitory motor functions were recently found to correlate with motor hyperactivity in children with ADHD. Since hyperactivity seems t...

Impaired transcallosally mediated motor inhibition in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is modulated by methylphenidate
Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in children with ADHD, an impaired transcallosally mediated motor inhibition (ipsilateral silent period, iSP) was found, and its restoration was correlated with im...
