Postural preinspiratory cortical activity, genioglossus activity and fluid shift in awake obstructive sleep apnoea patients

New Finding What is the central question of this study? The transition to the supine posture induces an inspiratory load associated with cortical activation in awake healthy subjects. Some OSA patients exhibit this cortical activity in the sitting position contributing to the arousal‐dependent compensation of their upper airway abnormalities. Does a transition to the supine posture in awake OSA patients increase this cortical activity? What is the main finding and its importance? The transition...

State attachment moderates the maternal-related neural responses to infant faces

Publication date: Available online 20 November 2019Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Yuanxiao Ma, Na Hu, Guangzeng Liu, Xu ChenAbstractAdult attachment is particularly known for the modulating role of caregiving motivation and behavior. Although most studies consider attachment style relatively stable, it may also be affected by various situational factors, and these temporary fluctuations are related to meaningful behaviors. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging,...

Seeking neurophysiological manifestations of speech production: An ERP study

Publication date: Available online 20 November 2019Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Adithya Chandregowda, Yael Arbel, Emanuel DonchinAbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the neurophysiological correlates of speech production by elucidating pertinent ERP components. Such examination can pave way for investigations on typical and atypical speech neuromotor control. Participants completed a speech task by saying a specific word (speaking condition) or withholding the...

Adiposity is related to neuroelectric indices of motor response preparation in preadolescent children

Publication date: Available online 19 November 2019Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Anne M. Walk, Lauren B. Raine, Arthur F. Kramer, Neal J. Cohen, Charles H. Hillman, Naiman A. KhanAbstractObjectiveEvent-related brain potentials (ERPs) have been utilized to study the cognitive implications of health-related behaviors, although many questions remain regarding the neural correlates underlying the cognition and adiposity relationship in childhood. Specifically, it is unknown...

Natural alpha frequency components in resting EEG and their relation to arousal

Publication date: Available online 20 November 2019Source: Clinical NeurophysiologyAuthor(s): Robert J. Barry, Frances M. De Blasio, Jack S. Fogarty, Adam R. ClarkeAbstractObjectiveGlobal EEG alpha activity is negatively correlated with skin conductance level (SCL), supporting alpha as an inverse marker of arousal. Frequency Principal Components Analysis (f-PCA) of resting EEG amplitude spectra has demonstrated natural components in the alpha band of healthy persons. This is a preliminary exploration...

Effects of Ventral Intermediate Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Across Multiple Effectors in Essential Tremor

Publication date: Available online 20 November 2019Source: Clinical NeurophysiologyAuthor(s): B.J. Wilkes, A. Wagle Shukla, A. Casamento-Moran, C.W. Hess, E.A. Christou, M.A. Okun, D.E. VaillancourtAbstractObjectiveEssential tremor (ET) prominently affects the upper-limbs during voluntary movements, but can also affect the lower-limbs, head, and chin. Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) of thalamus improves both clinical ratings and quantitative measures...

Thalamo-cortical network dysfunction in temporal lobe epilepsy

Publication date: Available online 20 November 2019Source: Clinical NeurophysiologyAuthor(s): Giovanni Assenza, Jacopo Lanzone, Angelo Insola, Giulia Amatori, Lorenzo Ricci, Mario Tombini, Vincenzo Di LazzaroAbstractObjectivesImaging and neurophysiological data shows that the cortical disfunction caused by focal epilepsy is not limited to the epileptic focus, thus raising the modern vision of focal epilepsy as a network disorder. The involvement of deep thalamo-cortical projections in temporal lobe...
