AF affects one-third of patients after cryptogenic stroke, TIA
Almost 30 percent of patients who experience a cryptogenic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) go on to develop atrial fibrillation (AF), most of them asymptomatic, according to results of the NOR-FIB* study presented at EHRA 2022.
Noninvasive nerve stimulation device eases migraine
External trigeminal nerve stimulation (e-TNS) helps relieve pain and reduce other symptoms associated with migraine, according to a recent study. E-TNS presents a safe, effective, noninvasive, and nonpharmacological intervention for migraine.
Transcranial direct current stimulation enhances social functioning in autism spectrum disorder
A two-armed, double-blind, sham-controlled trial conducted by researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong has demonstrated that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) significantly enhances social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), when delivered concurrently with a computerized cognitive remediation training programme.
Synaptic variability lowers cortical gamma oscillation power in schizophrenia
Gamma oscillation power in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in schizophrenia can significantly decrease with greater variability in excitatory synaptic strength across parvalbumin interneurons (PVIs), together with other modest synaptic alterations in these neurons, suggests a recent study.
