Journal ArticleDOI
Theta-burst stimulation of the left hemisphere accelerates recovery of hemispatial neglect
Giacomo Koch,Sonia Bonnì,V. Giacobbe,G. Bucchi,Barbara Basile,Federica Lupo,Viviana Versace,Marco Bozzali,Carlo Caltagirone +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a 2-week course of cTBS over the LH PPC may be a potential effective strategy in accelerating recovery from visuospatial neglect in subacute stroke patients, possibly counteracting the hyperexcitability of LH parieto-frontal circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex ameliorates spasticity in multiple sclerosis.
Diego Centonze,Giacomo Koch,Viviana Versace,Francesco Mori,Stefano Rossi,Livia Brusa,K. Grossi,F. Torelli,Chiara Prosperetti,A. Cervellino,Girolama Alessandra Marfia,Paolo Stanzione,Maria Grazia Marciani,Laura Boffa,Giorgio Bernardi +14 more
TL;DR: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may improve spasticity in multiple sclerosis, and clinical improvement was long-lasting when the patients underwent 5 Hz rTMS treatment during a 2-week protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological and neurophysiological correlates of fatigue in post-acute patients with neurological manifestations of COVID-19: Insights into a challenging symptom.
Paola Ortelli,Davide Ferrazzoli,Luca Sebastianelli,Michael Engl,Roberto Romanello,Raffaele Nardone,Ilenia Bonini,Giacomo Koch,Leopold Saltuari,Angelo Quartarone,Antonio Oliviero,Markus Kofler,Viviana Versace +12 more
TL;DR: COVID-19-associated inflammation might lead to GABAergic impairment, possibly representing the basis of fatigue and explaining apathy and executive deficits, and this impairment might be related to the neuropsychological alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Effects on Cortical Excitability and Motor Recovery Induced by Repeated Muscle Vibration in Chronic Stroke Patients:
Barbara Marconi,G. M. Filippi,Giacomo Koch,V. Giacobbe,Cristiano Pecchioli,Viviana Versace,Filippo Camerota,Vincenzo Maria Saraceni,Carlo Caltagirone +8 more
TL;DR: RMV with PT may be used as a nonpharmacological intervention in the neurorehabilitation of mild to moderate hemiparesis and a significant correlation was found between the degree of spasticity and the amount of intracortical inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo definition of parieto-motor connections involved in planning of grasping movements
Giacomo Koch,Mara Cercignani,Cristiano Pecchioli,Viviana Versace,Massimiliano Oliveri,Carlo Caltagirone,John C. Rothwell,Marco Bozzali +7 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate the existence of segregated parieto-premotor-motor pathways crucial for preparation of different grasping actions and indicate that these may process information relevant to both the position of the object and the hand shape required to use it.
