The blink reflex and its modulation - Part 2: Pathophysiology and clinical utility
Clin Neurophysiol. 2024 Feb 9;160:75-94. doi: 10.1016/j.clinph.2024.02.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe blink reflex (BR) is integrated at the brainstem; however, it is modulated by inputs from various structures such as the striatum, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and nucleus raphe magnus but also from afferent input from the peripheral nervous system. Therefore, it provides information about the pathophysiology of numerous peripheral and central nervous system disorders. The BR is a valuable tool for studying the integrity of the trigemino-facial system, the relevant brainstem nuclei, and circuits. At the same ...

Vagus nerve stimulation and heart rate variability: A scoping review of a somatic oscillatory signal
Clin Neurophysiol. 2024 Feb 16;160:95-107. doi: 10.1016/j.clinph.2024.02.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe goal of this review is to synthesize the literature on vagus nerve stimulator (VNS)-related changes in heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and assess the role of these changes in seizure relief. A scoping literature review was performed with the following inclusion criteria: primary articles written in English, involved implantable VNS in humans, and had HRV as a primary outcome. Twenty-nine studies were retrieved, however with considerable heterogeneity in study methods. T...

rTMS of the auditory association cortex improves speech intelligibility in patients with sensorineural hearing loss
CONCLUSIONS: The long-lasting effects on SRT and PTA observed in the Active group indicates that rTMS administered over the auditory cortex could promote sustained neuromodulatory-induced changes in the brain, improving the perception of complex sentences and pure tones reception skills.SIGNIFICANCE: Five days of rTMS treatment enhances overall speech intelligibility and PTA in SHL patients.PMID:38395005 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.02.007 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Atypical beta-band effects in children with dyslexia in response to rhythmic audio-visual speech
CONCLUSION: Atypical beta-band effects were observed in children with dyslexia. However, delta-beta PAC was comparable in both dyslexic and control children.SIGNIFICANCE: These findings offer further insights into the neurophysiological basis of atypical rhythmic speech processing by children with dyslexia, suggesting the involvement of a wide range of frequency bands.PMID:38387402 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.02.008 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Axonal excitability as an early biomarker of nerve involvement in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis
CONCLUSIONS: These progressive changes seen across the disease spectrum in ATTRv-PN suggest that axonal excitability has utility to identify early and progressive nerve dysfunction in ATTRv, regardless of genotype.SIGNIFICANCE: Axonal excitability is a promising early biomarker of nerve dysfunction in ATTRv-PN.PMID:38377648 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.01.006 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)
