    Machine learning for exploring neurophysiological functionality in multiple sclerosis based on trigeminal and hand blink reflexes

    Brainstem dysfunctions are very common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and are a critical predictive factor for future disability. Brainstem functionality can be explored with blink reflexes, subcortical responses ...

    Transcutaneous trigeminal nerve stimulation modulates the hand blink reflex

    The hand-blink reflex (HBR) is a subcortical response, elicited by the electrical stimulation of the median nerve, whose magnitude is specifically modulated according to the spatial properties of the defensive...

    Defensive peripersonal space is modified by a learnt protective posture

    The Hand Blink Reflex (HBR) is a subcortical defensive response, elicited by the electrical stimulation of the median nerve. HBR increases when the stimulated hand is inside the defensive peripersonalspace (DP...

    Provision of somatosensory inputs during motor imagery enhances learning-induced plasticity in human motor cortex

    Motor learning via physical practice leads to long-term potentiation (LTP)-like plasticity in motor cortex (M1) and temporary occlusion of additional LTP-like plasticity. Motor learning can be achieved through...
