The pathophysiology of dystonia has been best studied in patients with focal hand dystonia.
A loss of inhibitory function has been demonstrated at spinal, brainstem and cortical levels …

In this article we reviewed the results obtained with the technique of paired-pulse
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in normal subjects and in patients with movement …

Contralesional dorsal premotor cortex (cPMd) may support residual motor function following
stroke. We performed two complementary experiments to explore how cPMd might perform …

Since about 15 years, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is used as a technique to
investigate the function of specific cortical regions. Single pulse TMS studies have targeted …

The responsiveness to non-invasive neuromodulation protocols shows high inter-individual
variability, the reasons of which remain poorly understood. We here tested whether the …

Recent clinical and preclinical studies have shown that hyperkinetic disorders such as
Huntington's disease, dystonia and l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease are …

The mechanisms driving cortical plasticity in response to brain stimulation are still
incompletely understood. We here explored whether neural activity and connectivity in the …

Torsion dystonia is characterized by sustained muscle contractions causing twisting and
repetitive movements and abnormal postures. The diagnosis can be made difficult, delayed …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used in two different ways to investigate the
contribution of cortical areas involved in grasp/reach movements in humans. It can produce …

Objectives: Writer's cramp (WC) is characterized by excessive cocontractions of agonist and
antagonist hand and forearm muscles during writing. Changes in functional magnetic …
