There is increasing evidence that supports the role of cerebellum in pathophysiology dystonia. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation to test hypothesis patients with cervical dystonia may have a disrupted cerebellar cortical connectivity at rest, and plasticity altered too. enrolled 12 isolated 13 controls. A paired-pulse protocol was applied over right left primary motor area. Changes amplitude evoked potentials were analysed. Continuous intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation also...

Abstract Background Recent studies have shown altered cortical plasticity in adult patients with Tourette syndrome. However, the clinical significance of this finding remains elusive. Methods Motor was evaluated 15 severe syndrome and 16 healthy controls using paired associative stimulation protocol by transcranial magnetic stimulation. Associations between stimulation–induced relevant variables, including excitability, psychiatric comorbidities, drug treatment tic severity, were assessed....

Objectives Euthymic patients with bipolar disorder ( BD ) have deficits in cortical inhibition. However, whether inhibitory are trait‐ or state‐dependent impairments is not yet known and their relationship psychiatric symptoms understood. In the present study, we examined evaluated potential clinical significance of these deficits. Methods Nineteen I were using paired‐pulse transcranial stimulation protocol, which assessed inhibition during an acute manic episode. Cortical measures compared...
