Objective Alzheimer's disease is primarily characterized by cognitive decline; recent studies,
however, emphasize the occurrence of motor impairment in this condition. Here, we …

Recently, neuropathological studies have shown an important motor cortex involvement in
Alzheimer's disease (AD), even in its early stages, despite the lack of clinically evident motor …

The assessment of corticospinal excitability by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation-
induced motor evoked potentials is an established diagnostic tool in neurophysiology and a …

Network hyperexcitability (NH) has recently been suggested as a potential
neurophysiological indicator of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as new, more accurate biomarkers …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is considered the most harmful form of dementia in the elderly
population. At present, there are no effective treatments and this is likely due to the …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has emerged as a pivotal non-invasive technique
for investigating cortical excitability and plasticity across the lifespan, offering valuable …

Sports concussions affect thousands of individuals every year and are a major public health
concern. Still, little is known about the long-term and cumulative effects of concussions on …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows the simultaneous measurement of several diffusion
indices that provide complementary information on the substrate of white matter alterations …

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in several brain functions ranging from emotions
control, movement organization to memory formation. It is also involved in the regulation of …

This paper is aimed at exploring the effect of cortical brain atrophy on the currents induced
by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We compared the currents induced by various …
