..18%). The tolerability profile was similar between the two drugs. In conclusion, our study suggests that frovatriptan has a similar efficacy of almotriptan in the short-term, while some advantages are observed during long-term treatment...

..This could open new perspectives to non-invasive brain stimulation protocols of alternative target area for pain treatment...

..These findings raise the possibility that the interictal reduced intracortical inhibition in migraine could be normalized by high-frequency rTMS. This would open perspectives for new treatment strategies in migraine prevention...

..The findings show that rTMS changes the duration of cortical SPs; the effect is probably due to the modulation of intracortical inhibitory interneurons depending on the frequency and intensity of stimulation...

..This finding supports the view of a failure of inhibitory circuits also involving the extrastriate cortex in migraine with aura...

..This study supports the critical role of right extrastriate cortex in illusory contour perception...

..Relative transitory rightward bias was observed only when parietal TMS was delivered 150 ms after visual stimulus presentation. Frontal stimulation induced no effect on visuo-spatial perception with the time intervals explored...

..Parietal rTMS of the unaffected hemisphere during the execution of a computerized task of bisected line's length judgment transiently decreased the magnitude of neglect as expressed in the number of errors...

..rTMS induced a significant improvement of visuo-spatial performance that remained quite unchanged 15 days after. Patients performance at Time 3 and 4 improved also as concerns line bisection and clock drawing tasks...

..If further confirmed, these findings suggest a reduced cerebellar modulation of motor cortex excitability in patients with focal dystonia...

..As LD acts reducing GABA circuits activity and hf-rTMS likely upregulates such circuits, these data give support to the hypothesis that cortical inhibition can play a relevant role in mechanisms underlying habituation...

..Moreover changes in amplitude appeared more frequent and permanent than the latency abnormalities...

..If such responses are due to training rather than self-selection of ability, then the results may suggest the possibility of changing the distribution of visuospatial attention by training in open-skill sports...

..i.d. that was able to reduce attacks from 4 to 6 times per day to 1 to 2 per week. Considering the good response to the drug, the neurosurgeon decided to delay surgical treatment...

..These findings suggest that the cerebellum plays a role in merely perceptive aspects of temporal information processing...

..Silent period and EDSS improved with both treatments. CONCLUSION: The dose of 2 g/day of IVMP is more effective in MS relapse...

..This case provides initial evidence that rTMS may be a successful treatment of syndromes associated with hyperactive brain areas...

..The cortical involvement in these patients seems to be mainly genetically determined. The study provides the first evidence of cortical dysfunction in patients with genetically defined Friedreich ataxia...

..Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is another noninvasive brain stimulation technique that works modulating cortical activity. It is applied through easy to use, noncostly, and portable devices...

..The case we describe concerns a 61-year-old woman with dropped-head syndrome as the unique complaint of myasthenia gravis...

....

..However, the interference effect was significantly greater for the verb+clitic than for the verb+det+noun phrases. These findings support the view that clitics increase the morphosyntactic complexity of verbs...
