Stochastic resonance (SR) is a phenomenon in which certain amount of random noise added to weak subthreshold stimulus can enhance signal detectability. It unknown how external interacts with neural producing an SR-like and whether this interaction results modulation either network efficiency or the single neurons. Using dot motion stimuli noninvasive brain stimulation, we attempted unveil specific mechanism action perception, if present. We aimed determine integration changes (random...
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face several challenges due to deficits in social function and communication along restricted patterns of behaviors. Often, they also have difficult-to-manage disruptive At the moment, there are no pharmacological treatments for ASD core features. Recently, has been a growing interest non-pharmacological interventions ASD, such as neuromodulation. In this retrospective study, data reported analyzed from 21 patients (13 males, 8 females) an average...
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is not only a therapeutic option but also an investigational tool to explore circuits and subjective dimensions in pathological conditions. Obsessive-Compulsive Related Disorders (OCRDs) shared similarities with Substance Use Disorder (SUD), suggesting the involvement of reward system. This study aimed verify efficacy targeting system rTMS OCRDs.Patients trichotillomania, hoarding disorder skin picking were treated over left DorsoLateral...
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a debilitating disorder, which tremendously impacts the psychological, social, and financial aspects of patient’s life. Frequently, SZ patients present with poor insight, can even worsen symptomatology. Antipsychotic medications frequently result in suboptimal outcomes, especially ones concerning negative cognitive symptoms. Accordingly, new therapeutic options are warranted. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been adopted promising results. Continuous Theta...
Abstract Behavioral addictions (BA) and substance use disorders (SUDs) share core features, including impaired control craving, leading to significant personal societal impacts. Previous research has identified the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) as a critical node in GD-related neurocircuitry, making it potential target for interventions also SUDs. Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) offers non-invasive method modulate pre-SMA activity. This study included 58 participants diagnosed with GD...
Abstract Stochastic resonance (SR) is the phenomenon wherein introduction of a suitable level noise enhances detection subthreshold signals in non linear systems. It manifests across various physical and biological systems, including human brain. Psychophysical experiments have confirmed behavioural impact stochastic on auditory, somatic, visual perception. Aging renders brain more susceptible to noise, possibly causing differences SR between young elderly individuals. This study...
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) concerns an excessive preoccupation concerning a perceived physical defect, associated with function impairment. No FDA-approved treatment exists for BDD, and many patients are resistant to standard treatment. Neuromodulation, especially deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) represents important option in treating the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. previous studies adopted dTMS BDD. In this case series we reported cases of three BDD treated combination...
