Background: Performing a sciatic nerve block on trauma patients unable to be positioned in lateral or prone position is difficult, hence the anterior approach is better in such cases1. Using blind nerve stimulation has more risk of nerve trauma2. The

Current neuroscience has identified several constructs to increase the effectiveness of upper extremity rehabilitation. One is the use of progressive, skill acquisition-oriented training. Another approach emphasizes the use of bilateral activities. B

Reduced cortical innervation of the subthalamic nucleus in MPTP-treated parkinsonian monkeys

Autor: Rosa M. Villalba, Thomas Wichmann, Abraham Mathai, Yuxian Ma, Jean-Francois Pare, Yoland Smith

The striatum and the subthalamic nucleus are the main entry points for cortical information to the basal ganglia. Parkinson’s disease affects not only the function, but also the morphological integrity of some of these inputs and their synaptic tar

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience

The basal ganglia receive cortical inputs through two main stations – the striatum and the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The information flowing along the corticostriatal system is transmitted to the basal ganglia circuitry via the direct and indirect

Background Current neuroscience has identified rehabilitation approaches with the potential to stimulate adaptive changes in the brains of persons with hemiparesis. These approaches include, intensive task-oriented training, bimanual activities and b
