Understanding the variability of the electrophysiologic laryngeal adductor reflex
CONCLUSIONS: cR1 latencies show high analytical precision for measurements. Delayed onset, difficult to elicit, desynchronized and unsustained cR1, and absence of cR2 signal an abnormal eLAR.SIGNIFICANCE: Understanding the variability and behavior of normal and abnormal eLAR under IGA can aid in the interpretation of its changes during monitoring.PMID:38631074 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.019 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Neurophysiological characterization of oropharyngeal dysphagia in older patients
CONCLUSIONS: OOD patients have unsafe swallow and delayed swallowing biomechanics, pharyngeal hypoesthesia with disrupted conduction of pharyngeal sensory inputs, and reduced excitability and delayed cortical motor response.SIGNIFICANCE: These findings suggest new elements in the pathophysiology of aging-associated OD and herald new and more specific neurorehabilitation treatments for these patients.PMID:38615499 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.030 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Auditory mismatch negativity in pre-manifest and manifest Huntington's disease
CONCLUSION: These results suggest an initial and subtle deterioration of pre-attentive mechanisms in the presymptomatic phase of HD, with an increasing phase shift in the MMN time frame. This result could indicate initial functional changes with a possible compensatory effect.SIGNIFICANCE: An initial and slight decrease in MMN associated with increased phase coherence in the corresponding EEG frequencies could indicate an early functional involvement of pre-attentive resources that could precede the clinical expression of HD.PMID:38603947 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.020 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies in the epilepsy monitoring unit: Systematic quantification of focal EEG and semiological signs
CONCLUSIONS: All included patients with IGE showed focal IEDs and three-quarter had focal seizure symptoms irrespective of the specific IGE subgroup. Focal IED localization had no significant effect on lateralization and localization of FSS.SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings may facilitate diagnostic and treatment decisions in patients with suspected IGE and focal signs.PMID:38603948 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.025 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Neurophysiological and imaging biomarkers of lower motor neuron dysfunction in motor neuron diseases/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: IFCN handbook chapter
Clin Neurophysiol. 2024 Mar 20;162:91-120. doi: 10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis chapter discusses comprehensive neurophysiological biomarkers utilised in motor neuron disease (MND) and, in particular, its commonest form, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These encompass the conventional techniques including nerve conduction studies (NCS), needle and high-density surface electromyography (EMG) and H-reflex studies as well as novel techniques. In the last two decades, new methods of assessing the loss of motor units in a muscle have been developed, that are more convenient than earlier met...
