Beyond current research practice: Methodological consideration in MS rehabilitation research (is designing the perfect rehabilitation trial the Holy Grail or a Gordian knot?)
(2019)Rehabilitation is an essential aspect of symptomatic and supportive treatment for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The number of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for rehabilitation interventions in MS has increased ... -
Changes in electrophysiological markers of cognitive control after administration of galantamine
(2018)The healthy brain is able to maintain a stable balance between bottom-up sensory processing and top-down cognitive control. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine plays a substantial role in this. Disruption of this balance ... -

Current role of melatonin in pediatric neurology: Clinical recommendations
(2015)BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Melatonin, an indoleamine secreted by the pineal gland, plays a key role in regulating circadian rhythm. It has chronobiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenging properties. METHODS: ... -
Development of human electrophysiological brain networks
(2018)Functional activity in the human brain is intrinsically organized into independently active, connected brain regions. These networks include sensorimotor systems, as well as higher-order cognitive networks such as the ... -
The diagnostic values of UCH-L1 in traumatic brain injury: A meta-analysis
(2017)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health concern. The purpose of this study is to identify the diagnostic accuracy of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1)-a protein biomarker-in comparison with CT-scan findings ... -
