The intermuscular 3–7 Hz drive is not affected by distal proprioceptive input in myoclonus-dystonia

Van der Meer, J.N. (author), Schouten, A.C. (author), Bour, L.J. (author), De Vlugt, E. (author), Van Rootselaar, A.F. (author), Van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Tijssen, M.A.J. (author)

In dystonia, both sensory malfunctioning and an abnormal intermuscular low-frequency drive of 3–7 Hz have been found, although cause and eVect are unknown. It is hypothesized that sensory processing is primarily disturbed and induces this drive. Accordingly, experimenter-controlled sensory input should be able to inXuence the frequency of the...

Dynamic causal modeling of the cortical responses to wrist perturbations

Yang, Y. (author), Guliyev, Bekir (author), Schouten, A.C. (author)

Mechanical perturbations applied to the wrist joint typically evoke a stereotypical sequence of cortical and muscle responses. The early cortical responses (&lt;100 ms) are thought be involved in the “rapid” transcortical reaction to the perturbation while the late cortical responses (&gt;100 ms) are related to the “slow” transcortical reaction....
