Native learning ability and not age determines the effects of brain stimulation

Pablo Maceira Elvira, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Anne-Christine Schmid, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior, Traian Popa

Healthy aging often entails a decline in cognitive and motor functions, affecting independence and quality of life in older adults. Brain stimulation shows potential to enhance these functions, but studies show variable effects. Previous studies have tried ...

Dissecting motor skill acquisition: Spatial coordinates take precedence

Pablo Maceira Elvira, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Anne-Christine Schmid, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa

Practicing a previously unknown motor sequence often leads to the consolidation of motor chunks, which enable its accurate execution at increasing speeds. Recent imaging studies suggest the function of these structures to be more related to the encoding, s ...

Tonic pain alters functional connectivity of the descending pain modulatory network involving amygdala, periaqueductal gray, parabrachial nucleus and anterior cingulate cortex

Anne-Christine Schmid

Introduction: Resting state functional connectivity (FC) is widely used to assess functional brain alterations in patients with chronic pain. However, reports of FC accompanying tonic pain in pain-free persons are rare. A network we term the Descending Pai ...

During capsaicin-induced central sensitization, brush allodynia is associated with baseline warmth sensitivity, whereas mechanical hyperalgesia is associated with painful mechanical sensibility, anxiety and somatization

Anne-Christine Schmid

Background Mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia incidence varies considerably amongst neuropathic pain patients. This study explored whether sensory or psychological factors associate with mechanical hyperalgesia and brush allodynia in a human experimenta ...
