Verbal retrieval deficits due to traumatic brain injury are associated with changes in event related potentials during a Go-NoGo task
CONCLUSIONS: Despite no difference in Go-NoGo task performance, ERP amplitude and latency measures associated with cognitive control during Go-NoGo distinguished TBI individuals with VR deficits from those without.SIGNIFICANCE: This study furthers our understanding of VR deficits in TBI and implicates potential application of ERP measures in monitoring and treating such deficits.PMID:38663098 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.04.002 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Altered spreading of fast aperiodic brain waves relates to disease duration in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: In this work, we provide a deeper characterization of neuronal avalanches propagation in ALS, describing their spatio-temporal trajectories and identifying the brain regions most likely to be involved in the process. This makes it possible to recognize the brain areas that take part in the pathogenic mechanisms of ALS. Furthermore, the nodal strength of the involved regions correlates directly with disease duration.SIGNIFICANCE: Our results corroborate the clinical relevance of aperiodic, fast large-scale brain activity as a biomarker of microscopic changes induced by neurophysiological processes.PMID:38663099...

The contribution of EEG to assess and treat motor disorders in multiple sclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: We highlight some key EEG patterns in pwMS at rest and during movement, both suggesting an alteration or disruption of brain connectivity, more specifically involving sensorimotor networks.SIGNIFICANCE: Some of these EEG biomarkers of motor disturbance could be used to design future therapeutic strategies in MS based on neuromodulation approaches, or to predict the effects of motor training and rehabilitation in pwMS.PMID:38643612 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.024 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Electrode positioning errors reduce current dose for focal tDCS set-ups: Evidence from individualized electric field mapping
CONCLUSIONS: Precise positioning is crucial when using focal tDCS set-ups to avoid significant reductions of current dose in the intended target regions.SIGNIFICANCE: Our results highlight the urgent need to routinely implement methods for improving electrode positioning, minimization of electrode drift, verification of electrode positions before and/or after tDCS and also to consider positioning errors when investigating dose-response relationships, especially for focal set-ups.PMID:38643613 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.031 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Detection of seizure onset in childhood absence epilepsy
CONCLUSION: The performance of the proposed unsupervised methods is equivalent to that of the supervised ones. The use of only four electrodes makes the pipeline suitable to be embedded in a wearable device.SIGNIFICANCE: The proposed pipelines perform early detection of absence seizures, which constitutes a prerequisite for a closed-loop system.PMID:38644110 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.034 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)
