Background/aim: In this study, we investigated the blink reflex (BR) after simultaneous and asynchronous stimulation of two trigeminal nerve branches. The objective was to characterize the physiology of trigeminal and facial circuits.
Materials And Methods: We performed three sets of experiments: recording BR response i.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of video-oculography (VOG) in diagnosing myasthenia gravis (MG) in patients who exhibit no visible eye movement issues.
- The research involved 18 patients with suspected ocular MG, split between those with confirmed abnormalities and those without, along with a control group of 50 healthy individuals.
- Findings indicated significant delays in certain eye movement responses in MG patients, suggesting that VOG can detect subtle eye muscle dysfunction associated with the disease.
Objective: To investigate the clinical importance of intermittent rhythmic delta activity (IRDA) in terms of accompanying electrophysiological findings on EEG and their association with IRDA.
Methods: We retrospectively assessed all EEG studies recorded in our institution from 2011 to 2017. Patients with intermittent rhythmic delta activity (IRDA) in EEGs were included.
Objective: In this study, we analyzed the inhibitory control on the trigemino-cervical reflex (TCR), and whether or not prepulse modulation (PPM) has an effect on TCR. Thus, we studied the PPM of TCR. We hypothesized that TCR would presumably be under the modulatory effect after the prepulse stimulus similar to blink reflex (BR).
