Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperexcitability of parietal-motor functional connections in the intact left-hemisphere of patients with neglect.
Giacomo Koch,Massimiliano Oliveri,Binith Cheeran,Diane Ruge,Emanuele Lo Gerfo,Silvia Salerno,Sara Torriero,Barbara Marconi,Francesco Mori,Jon Driver,John C. Rothwell,Carlo Caltagirone +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that excitability of left PPC-M1 circuits was higher in neglect patients than the other groups, and related to the degree of neglect on clinical cancellation tests, with implications for possible treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repetitive TMS of cerebellum interferes with millisecond time processing
Giacomo Koch,Massimiliano Oliveri,Sara Torriero,Silvia Salerno,Emanuele Lo Gerfo,Carlo Caltagirone +5 more
TL;DR: It is determined that the cerebellum is essential in explicit temporal processing of millisecond time intervals using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and cerebellar involvement in millisecondsond time processing was evident when the time intervals were encoded but not when they were retrieved from memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebellar magnetic stimulation decreases levodopa-induced dyskinesias in Parkinson disease
Giacomo Koch,Livia Brusa,Fátima Carrillo,E Lo Gerfo,Sara Torriero,Massimiliano Oliveri,Pablo Mir,Carlo Caltagirone,Paolo Stanzione +8 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that cerebellar continuous theta burst stimulation has an antidyskinetic effect in Parkinson disease patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesia, possibly due to modulation of cerebellothalamocortical pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in intracortical circuits of the human motor cortex following theta burst stimulation of the lateral cerebellum
Giacomo Koch,Francesco Mori,Barbara Marconi,Claudia Codecà,Cristiano Pecchioli,Silvia Salerno,Sara Torriero,Emanuele Lo Gerfo,Pablo Mir,Massimiliano Oliveri,Massimiliano Oliveri,Carlo Caltagirone +11 more
TL;DR: Findings reveal that the cerebellar cortex undergoes bidirectional plastic changes that modulate different intracortical circuits within the contralateral primary motor cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased facilitation of the primary motor cortex following 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the contralateral cerebellum in normal humans
TL;DR: The implication is that rTMS of the cerebellar cortex can shape the flowing of inhibition from Purkinje cells toward deep nuclei, thereby increasing the excitability of interconnected brain areas.
