Pietroboni,Laura Ghezzi,Giorgio G. Fumagalli,Giorgio G. Fumagalli,Giordano D’Urso,Paolo Caffarra,Elio Scarpini,Alberto Priori,Sara Marceglia +18 more
TL;DR: The present findings showed that Anodal tDCS applied bilaterally over the fronto-temporal cortex significantly improves neuropsychiatric symptoms in FTD patients immediately after tDCS treatment, and simple visual reaction times up to 1 month after tDCS treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the motor system in action naming in patients with neurodegenerative extrapyramidal syndromes.
TL;DR: It is suggested that language ability assessments are useful in the clinical work-up, along with neuropsychological and motor evaluations, and the link between language deficits and motor impairment opens a new issue for treatment approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cathodal tDCS Guided by Thermography as Adjunctive Therapy in Chronic Migraine Patients: A Sham-Controlled Pilot Study.
TL;DR: The results suggest that cathodal tDCS is an effective adjuvant technique in migraine provided that an individual correct montage of the electrodes is applied, according to thermographic investigation.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the current evidence of ES efficacy for the treatment of visual pathologies and the corresponding degree of the recommendation of different ES techniques was defined to suggest conclusive evidence for rtACS treatment.

Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation Does Not Improve Behavioral and Neurophysiological Measures in Patients with Subacute Vegetative-Unresponsive Wakefulness State (VS-UWS).
Mauro Mancuso,Laura Abbruzzese,Stefania Canova,Giulia Landi,Simone Rossi,Emiliano Santarnecchi,Emiliano Santarnecchi +6 more
TL;DR: Repeated applications of transcranial random noise stimulation of the DLPFC, even if applied in a subacute phase of VS-UWS state, did not modify behavioral and neurophysiological outcomes differently than sham stimulation.

TL;DR: Transcranial electrical stimulation using weak current may be a promising tool to modulate cerebral excitability in a non‐invasive, painless, reversible, selective and focal way.

TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis suggests that several genes that increase the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease encode factors that regulate glial clearance of misfolded proteins and the inflammatory reaction.

Publication bias in clinical research
TL;DR: The presence of publication bias in a cohort of clinical research studies is confirmed and it is suggested that conclusions based only on a review of published data should be interpreted cautiously, especially for observational studies.

Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and binocular interaction in visual cortex
TL;DR: The development of stimulus selectivity in the primary sensory cortex of higher vertebrates is considered in a general mathematical framework and a synaptic evolution scheme of a new kind is proposed in which incoming patterns rather than converging afferents compete.

Drug Addiction and Its Underlying Neurobiological Basis: Neuroimaging Evidence for the Involvement of the Frontal Cortex
Rita Z. Goldstein,Nora D. Volkow +1 more
TL;DR: An integrated model of drug addiction that encompasses intoxication, bingeing, withdrawal, and craving is proposed, and results imply that addiction connotes cortically regulated cognitive and emotional processes, which result in the overvaluing of drug reinforcers, the undervalued of alternative rein forcers, and deficits in inhibitory control for drug responses.
