Intracortical and interhemispheric excitability changes in arm amputees: A TMS study
CONCLUSIONS: In our population of TR amputees, we found increased corticospinal excitability in the AH with preserved intracortical inhibition. This finding was not observed in the TH population.SIGNIFICANCE: Understanding the changes in intracortical excitability in amputees may enhance knowledge of the functional reorganization of the brain in the post-amputation phase, bringing useful information for prosthetic rehabilitation.PMID:37918223 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.09.017 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Scalp EEG-recorded high-frequency oscillations can predict seizure activity in Panayiotopoulos syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: HFOs are related to the seizure activity period in patients with PS.SIGNIFICANCE: We propose that HFOs are a biomarker of epileptogenicity and an indicator for drug reduction because seizures did not occur if HFOs disappeared even if the spikes remained.PMID:37918221 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.09.015 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

A quantitative EEG index for the recognition of arterial ischemic stroke in children
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate that COIN can identify children with acute ischemic stroke.SIGNIFICANCE: COIN may be a valuable tool for stroke identification in children. Additional studies are needed to determine utility as a monitoring technique for children at risk for stroke.PMID:37918222 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.10.001 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)
