Background and Aims: The prevalence of acquired brain injury (ABI) in offender populations
appears much higher than in the general population, being estimated at 50% compared to …

Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique
capable of altering cortical activity, has been proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio at …

The glycoprotein osteopontin is highly upregulated in central nervous system (CNS)
disorders such as ischemic stroke. Osteopontin regulates cell growth, cell adhesion …

The pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie the generation and maintenance of
tinnitus are being unraveled progressively. Based on this knowledge, a large variety of …

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) promotes recovery after stroke in
humans. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain to be elucidated. Animal models …

Ischemic insult stimulates proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the subventricular zone
(SVZ) after stroke. However, only a fraction of NSC‐derived neuroblasts from SVZ migrate …

Background and Purpose: The therapeutic use of transcranial direct current stimulation
(tDCS), an adjuvant tool for stroke, induces long-term changes in cortical excitability, for …

Background Despite the central origin of stroke affecting the primary motor cortex M1, most
physical and occupational rehabilitation programs focus on peripheral treatments rather …

Multiple neuronal injury pathways are activated during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion
(I/R). This study was designed to decrease potential neuronal injuries by using both …

Despite the introduction of new antiepileptic drugs, about 30% of patients with epilepsy are
refractory to drug therapy. Thus, the search for non-pharmacological interventions such as …
