Unravelling the enigma of cortical tremor and other forms of cortical myoclonus
Cortical tremor is a fine rhythmic oscillation involving distal upper limbs, linked to increased
sensorimotor cortex excitability, as seen in cortical myoclonus. Cortical tremor is the …

Photosensitivity in generalized epilepsies
S Poleon, JP Szaflarski - Epilepsy & Behavior, 2017 - Elsevier
Photosensitivity, which is the hallmark of photosensitive epilepsy (PSE), is described as an

Contribution of TMS and TMS-EEG to the understanding of mechanisms underlying physiological brain aging
In the human brain, aging is characterized by progressive neuronal loss, leading to
disruption of synapses and to a degree of failure in neurotransmission. However, there is …
