<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini are increasingly explored for their potential in medical diagnostics, including neurology. Their real-world applicability remains inadequately assessed, particularly clinical workflows where nuanced decision-making is required. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy appropriateness of recommendations provided by compared to neurologists using cases. <title>METHODS</title> This...
Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-induced electric fields (EFs) acting on brain tissues are hardly controllable. Among physical models used in neuroscience research, watermelons known as head-like phantoms for their dielectric properties. In this study, we aimed to define an inexpensive and reliable method qualitatively the spatial distribution of tDCS-induced EFs based use watermelons. Methods: After creating eight cranial foramina identifying location 21 EEG scalp...
While conventional deep brain stimulation (cDBS) treatment delivers continuous electrical stimuli, new adaptive DBS (aDBS) technology provides dynamic symptom-related stimulation. Research data are promising, and devices already available, but we ready for it? We asked leading experts worldwide (n = 21) to discuss a research agenda aDBS in the near future allow full adoption. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire, along with Delphi method, was employed. In next 10 years, will be clinical...
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini are gaining momentum in healthcare for their diagnostic potential. However, real-world applicability specialized medical fields like neurology remains inadequately explored. The possibility to use these tools everyday practice relies on the evaluation of ability serve support clinician assessing patient, understanding possible diagnosis design pathway. To this end, study we (1) examined available literature LLMs order understand whether...
Background and Aims: Chronic pain is a complex clinical condition, often devastating for patients unmanageable with pharmacological treatments. Converging evidence suggests that transcutaneous spinal Direct Current Stimulation (tsDCS) might represent complementary therapy in managing chronic pain. In this randomized, double-blind sham-controlled crossover study, we assessed tsDCS effects patients. Methods: Sixteen (aged 65.06 ± 16.16 years, eight women) of different etiology underwent sham...
Neurological sequelae following SARS-CoV-2 infection still represent a serious concern both for neurologists and neuroscientists. In our paper, we investigated pain, myalgia, fatigue as symptoms in long-COVID patients with an electrophysiological approach, comprising the evaluation of sympathetic skin responses (SSRs) quantitative electromyography (qEMG).Twelve were enrolled (mean age, 47.7 ± 11.6 years), referred to attention because or muscle cramps, which persisted about 6 months after...
Long-COVID is a clinical condition in which patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 usually report wide range of physical and cognitive symptoms from 3 to 6 months after the infection recovery. The aim current study was assess link between self-reported long-COVID reaction times (RTs) self-administered Visual Detection Task (VDT) order identify predictor slowing determine attention impairment. In total, 362 participants (age (mean ± S.D.: 38.56 13.14); sex (female-male: 73.76-26.24%)) responded...
Abstract The role of brain asymmetries dopaminergic neurons in motor symptoms Parkinson’s disease is still undefined. Local field recordings from the subthalamic nucleus revealed some neurophysiological biomarkers disease: increased beta activity, low-frequency activity and high-frequency oscillations. Phase-amplitude coupling coordinates timing neuronal allows determining mechanism for communication within distinct regions brain. In this study, we discuss use phase-amplitude to assess...
ABSTRACT Importance If history teaches, as cardiac pacing moved from fixed-rate to on-demand delivery in 80s of the last century, there are high probabilities that closed-loop and adaptive approaches will become, next decade, natural evolution conventional Deep Brain Stimulation (cDBS). However, while devices for aDBS already available clinical use, few data on their application technological limitations so far. In such scenario, gathering opinion expertise leading investigators worldwide...
Background: Mindfulness trainings have shown promising results as treatment for behavioural symptoms in several pathologies. In addition, mindfulness protocols induced an improvement memory and attention. Therefore, could be effective intervention patients affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD) mild cognitive impairment (MCI), who are characterized both dysfunctions. Methods: We assessed differences Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) PD MCI...
