Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Excitability of the Human Visual Cortex Induced by Short-term Light Deprivation
Babak Boroojerdi,Khalaf Bushara,Brian Corwell,Ilka Immisch,Fortunato Battaglia,Wolf Muellbacher,Leonardo G. Cohen +6 more
TL;DR: A substantial increase in visual cortex excitability was demonstrated after a short period of light deprivation, which may underlie behavioral gains reported in humans and animals associated with light deprivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
α-Synuclein produces a long-lasting increase in neurotransmitter release
Shumin Liu,Ipe Ninan,Irina Antonova,Fortunato Battaglia,Fabrizio Trinchese,Archana Narasanna,Nikolai Kolodilov,William T. Dauer,Robert D. Hawkins,Ottavio Arancio +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that long‐lasting potentiation of synaptic transmission between cultured hippocampal neurons is accompanied by an increase in the number of α‐synuclein clusters, and inhibitors of NO‐synthase block this increase, supporting the hypothesis that NO is involved in the enhancement of the number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focal enhancement of motor cortex excitability during motor imagery: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study.
TL;DR: Imagery of unilateral simple movements is associated with increased excitability only of a highly specific representation in the contralateral M1 and does not differ between hemispheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct changes in cortical and spinal excitability following high-frequency repetitive TMS to the human motor cortex
Angelo Quartarone,Sergio Bagnato,Sergio Bagnato,Vincenzo Rizzo,Francesca Morgante,Antonio Sant’Angelo,Fortunato Battaglia,Corrado Messina,Hartwig R. Siebner,Paolo Girlanda +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that subthreshold 5 Hz rTMS can induce lasting changes in specific neuronal subpopulations in the human corticospinal motor system, depending on the intensity and duration of rT MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical plasticity in Alzheimer's disease in humans and rodents.
Fortunato Battaglia,Hoau-Yan Wang,M. Felice Ghilardi,Eleonora Gashi,Angelo Quartarone,Eitan Friedman,Ralph A. Nixon,Ralph A. Nixon +7 more
TL;DR: The results of biochemical studies point to impaired NMDAR function as the most likely cause for the neocortical plasticity deficit in AD.
