For each specific aim, the development of new assistive technology BCI access methods will be evaluated in one or more experiments using alternating-treatments single-case research design (SCRD) with healthy controls and/or participants with SSPI. SCRD is ideal for examining small, heterogenous
In animals, coronavirus infection is commonly associated with CNS involvement:
epilepsy and ataxia are observed during Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) and virus is recovered in CSF, CNS is involved with strain-dependent severity in mice and rats infected by murine hepatitis virus, and murine
Cerebral stroke is the world's second leading cause of death with an incidence of 6.7 million deaths caused each year. Despite the progress made in the prevention and treatment of acute stroke, it remains the main cause of disability in adulthood in industrialized countries with a prevalence of 40%
BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE Veterans, while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, may have had exposure to improvised explosive devices (IEDs). These blast exposures resulted in the "signature injury" of these operations, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The over-pressurization shock waves emitted from
Multiple sclerosis (MS), the most prevalent neurological disability, is an autoimmune-mediated disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS) and often leads to severe physical or cognitive incapacitation as well as neurological problems in young adults . Multifocal zones of inflammation due
It is based on the hypothesis that the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at 1 Hertz or 5 Hertz in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) implies a neuroprotective effect against the progression of the disease, resulting in a clinical improvement (attenuation
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), chronic and progressive that is associated with the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the compact part of the substantia nigra ( AYANO , 2016). Its clinical diagnosis is due to a set of signs and symptoms,
Parkinson's disease (PD) culminates in dementia, immobility, and death at a huge societal cost. Even early in the course, motor and cognitive dysfunction impairs instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Non-motor symptoms due to fatigue, mood, sleep, and autonomic disorders further reduce
Multiple sclerosis (MS) MS is a chronic disease containing the inflammatory, demyelinating, anddegenerative processes of the central nervous system[FrischerJMet al, 2009]. The inflammation, microglial activation, astrocyticgliosis, demyelination, and somewhat axonal loss inwhite matter and grey
Clinical manifestations of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) indicate the involvement of motor, sensory, visual, and autonomic systems as well as brain circuits implicated in cognition and emotion.
Due to the complexity and the heterogeneity of the disease course and the clinical symptoms, the search for the
Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) MS commonly experience muscle weakness and fatigue which may contribute to the commonly reported symptomatic fatigue. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) induced with light in the visible red to near infrared (VIS/NIR) region of the spectrum (600-1000 nm) can
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, degenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterized by inflammatory demyelination and axonal degeneration. MS affects approximately 1 in 500 Canadians. There is no cure for MS and the heterogeneous symptoms of the disease makes it difficult to
ALS clinical presentation and pathophysiology
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a group of rapidly progressive fatal neurological diseases involving the brain and spinal cord. Clinical presentation is phenotypically heterogeneous and depends on the type of onset. The pathophysiology mechanisms
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common disorder among neurodegenerative diseases. SNCA is the first gene implicated in monogenic parkinsonism. However, some polymorphisms of SNCA gene such as rs894278 and rs11931074 can affect the risk of sporadic PD. The investigators aim to establish a
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common disorder among neurodegenerative diseases. GBA gene variants such as L444P can influence the risk of developing PD and these variants have the greatest impact on PD susceptibility among all the PD related gene variants yet discovered. The
