Sustained Reduction of Essential Tremor with Low-Power Non-Thermal Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulations in Humans

Sustained Reduction of Essential Tremor with Low-Power Non-Thermal Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulations in Humans

Sustained Reduction of Essential Tremor with Low-Power Non-Thermal Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation in Humans Background Essential Tremor (ET) is one of the most common neurological disorders, primarily characterized by bilateral upper limb action tremor that persists for more than three years. For ET unresponsive to medication, neurosur...

Thresholds and Mechanisms of Human Magnetophosphene Perception Induced by Low Frequency Sinusoidal Magnetic Fields

Threshold and Mechanisms of Magnetophosphene Perception Background The effect of Magnetic Fields (MF) on the human body has long been a hot topic in scientific research.

Auditory Cues Modulate the Short Timescale Dynamics of STN Activity During Stepping in Parkinson’s Disease

Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often experience gait impairments, which severely affect their quality of life. Previous studies have suggested that β-frequency (15-30 Hz) oscillatory activity in the basal ganglia may be associated with gait impairments, but the exact dynamics of these oscillations during the gait process remain unclear. Add...
