Objective To review and discuss the literature on the role of cortical structure and function in
migraine. Discussion Structural and functional findings suggest that changes in cortical …

The use of TMS-EEG coupling as a neuroimaging tool for the functional exploration of the
human brain recently gained strong interest. If this tool directly inherits the fine temporal …

Ultrasound stimulation has recently emerged as a non-invasive method for modulating brain
activity in animal and human studies with healthy subjects. Whether brain diseases such as …

Advances in genetics may enable a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and
promote a shift to more personalised medicine in the epilepsies. At present, understanding …

Quenching of oscillations, namely, amplitude and oscillations death, is an emerging
phenomenon exhibited by many real-world complex systems. Here, we introduce a scheme …

Cortical excitability, as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with
electromyography, is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and follow-up of epilepsy. We …

Abstract Cryptogenic epilepsy, accounting for~ 40% of adult-onset epilepsies and a lesser
proportion in paediatrics, is defined as epilepsy of presumed symptomatic nature in which …

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder with recurrent seizures, which convey complex
dynamical characteristics including chaos and randomness. Until now, the underlying …

Study Design In our previous work a bilateral increase in cortical excitability measures was
demonstrated in new onset drug naïve patients with generalized epilepsy, while in focal …
