This study investigated the effects of dopaminergic drugs on the EEG mu power during motor imagery, action observation, and execution. This is a double-blind, crossover study with a sample of 15 healthy adults under placebo vs. methylphenidate vs. risperidone conditions during motor imagery, action observation, and execution tasks. The participants had drug dosage adjustment based on body weight/dose (mg/kg). We also analyzed the mu band power by electroencephalography during the study steps. The main result is the interaction between the condition and task factors for the C3 and C4 electrodes, with decreasing EEG mu power in the methylphenidate when compared to risperidone (p ≤ 0.0083). Our results can indicate that the methylphenidate decreases the neurophysiological activity in the central cortical regions during the perceptual experience of tasks with or without body movement.

Studies indicate that mental practice can be an adjuvant rehabilitation, improving motor functions.To synthesize the evidence on the intervention with the mental practice for the rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke in the context of a dependent task.The review was registered on the PROSPERO with protocol number: CRD42020166624. We searched the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Central, PEDro, and Web of Science from randomized clinical trials from 1975 to 2022. A literature review was conducted with 13 studies that synthesized findings on mental practice such as adjuvant rehabilitation in the recovery of the upper limb after stroke based on Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) Motor and action research arm test (ARAT) scores.The sample size was 232 were part of the intervention group and 180 of the control group. The findings no showed results in favor of mental practice after stroke accordingly to ARAT and FMA Motor scores (Current evidence does not support the use of the mental practice to increase the recovery of the upper limb after stroke, although the evidence is conflicting for some aspects of the technique.

The study investigated the cortical activity changes and time production task performance induced by changes in motion speed of a non-immersive 3D virtual stimulus.Twenty-one individuals were participated in the crossover study with the visual-time reproduction task under three-speed conditions: original, slow and fast virtual stimulus. In addition, the electroencephalographic analysis of the theta band power in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was done simultaneously with time production task execution.The results demonstrated that in the slow speed condition, there is an increase in the error in the time production task after virtual reality (We propose that the modulations of speed of virtual stimulus may underlie the accumulation of temporal pulses, which could be responsible for changes in the performance of the production task of the time intervals and a substantial increase in right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity related to attention and memory, acting in cognitive domains of supraseconds.

This study investigated whether time-estimation task exposure influences the severity of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as theta band activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex.Twenty-two patients with ADHD participated in a crossover experiment with a visual time-estimation task under control conditions (without exposure to time estimation tasks) and experimental (thirty days exposure to time-estimation tasks) in association with electroencephalographic analysis of theta band.ADHD patients with thirty days of time-estimation task exposure presented a worse performance of the time-estimation task, as revealed by the measurements of the absolute error and relative error (We propose that the decrease in EEG theta power may indicate an efficient accumulation of temporal pulses, which could be responsible for the improvement in the patient cognitive aspects as demonstrated by the current study. Time-estimation task improves ADHD cognitive symptoms, with a substantial increase in cortical areas activity related to attention and memory, suggesting its use as a tool for cognitive timing function management and non-invasive therapeutic aid in ADHD.

The use of digital technologies in education is a topic widely discussed nowadays, it has become even more remarkable given the situation imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Several works point out the challenges that higher education teachers faced in the exercise of academic activities during the most critical period of the global pandemic that required social isolation. Based on this context, the present work focuses on analyzing the application of information design principles to digital platform interfaces that help teachers build gamified activities. In this work, the Quizizz platform was analyzed through a checklist inspection elab-orated based on the principles proposed by Petterson (2012) in his work “It Depends”. As a result, the interface presented some specific problems, but in general it met most of the principles, indicating that when navigating the platform, the professor will not find great difficulties in obtaining and understanding information.

This study investigated the bromazepam effects in male subjects during the time estimation performance and EEG alpha asymmetry in electrodes associated with the frontal and motor cortex.This is a double-blind, crossover study with a sample of 32 healthy adults under control (placebo) vs. experimental (bromazepam) during visual time-estimation task in combination with electroencephalographic analysis.The results demonstrated that the bromazepam increased the relative error in the 4 s, 7 s, and 9 s intervals (p = 0.001). In addition, oral bromazepam modulated the EEG alpha asymmetry in cortical areas during the time judgment (p ≤ 0.025).The bromazepam decreases the precision of time estimation judgments and modulates the EEG alpha asymmetry, with greater left hemispheric dominance during time perception. Our findings suggest that bromazepam influences internal clock synchronization via the modulation of GABAergic receptors, strongly relating to attention, conscious perception, and behavioral performance.

Several studies have demonstrated that stroke subjects present impairment of functions related to decision-making and timing, involving the information processing in the neural circuits of the cerebellum in association with the prefrontal cortex. This review is aimed to identify the gaps, and demonstrate a better understanding of decision-making and timing functions in the patients with stroke. Electronic literature database was searched and the findings of relevant studies were used to explore the mechanisms of decision-making and timing in patients with stroke, as well as the circuit connections in timing mediated by prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. A literature review was conducted with 65 studies that synthesized findings on decision-making and time perception in individuals with stroke. Types of neurobiological modalities in this study included: Relationships among decision-making, time perception, related cognitive aspects (such as discrimination tasks, verbal estimation, bisection tasks, time production and motor reproduction), and motor control. We demonstrate that the timing processes are important for the performance in cognitive tasks and that the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex are involved in decision-making and time perception. In the context, the decision-making is impaired in stroke patients has a great impact on executive functions, and this seems to be important in determining neurobiological aspects relevant to the time interval interpretation.

Methylphenidate produces its effects via actions on cortical areas involved with attention and working memory, which have a direct role in time estimation judgment tasks. In particular, the prefrontal and parietal cortex has been the target of several studies to understand the effect of methylphenidate on executive functions and time interval perception. However, it has not yet been studied whether acute administration of methylphenidate influences performance in time estimation task and the changes in alpha band absolute power in the prefrontal and parietal cortex. The current study investigates the influence of the acute use of methylphenidate in both performance and judgment in the time estimation interpretation through the alpha band absolute power activity in the prefrontal and parietal cortex. This is a double-blind, crossover study with a sample of 32 subjects under control (placebo) and experimental (methylphenidate) conditions with absolute alpha band power analysis during a time estimation task. We observed that methylphenidate does not influence task performance (p > 0.05), but it increases the time interval underestimation by over 7 s (p

Background: Coronary calcium score (CAC) is a marker of coronary atherosclerosis. We compared CAC scores in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) caused by large-artery atherosclerosis (Groupathero) to a control group (Groupcontrol), in multiethnic subjects without history of symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, subjects in Groupathero (n=80) had at least one symptomatic stenosis ≥ 50% in the carotid or vertebrobasilar territories. Groupathero included two subgroups: stenosis in either cervical or intracranial arteries (GroupExtraorIntra), and in at least one cervical and one intracranial artery (GroupExtra&Intra). Subjects in Groupcontrol (n=40) had no history of stroke or stenosis ≥ 50% in cervical or intracranial arteries. Frequencies of CAC ≥ 100 and CAC > 0 were compared between the groups and subgroups by bivariate logistic regressions. Multivariate analyses were also performed. Results: Rates of CAC ≥ 100 were not significantly different between Groupathero and Groupcontrol but were significantly greater in GroupExtraI 1.21-18.04; p = 0.025). CAC > 0 was significantly more frequent in Groupathero (85%) than Groupcontrol (OR, 4.19; 1.74-10.07; p = 0,001). In multivariate analyses, “Groupathero” and “GroupExtra&Intra” was significantly and independently associated with CAC. Conclusions: The frequency of coronary calcification was higher in subjects with atherothrombotic stroke without symptoms of coronary disease than in controls with similar vascular risk factors. In patients with stroke, the burden of subclinical CAD was significantly higher in those with cervical and intracranial atherosclerosis.

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a noninvasive method used for hemodynamic brain assessment. It has vast applicability in neurology, neurosurgery, and intensive care, enabling the diagnosis and monitoring of cerebral blood flow impairment secondary to different diseases. This exam uses a low-frequency probe positioned on the skull and obtains the blood flow velocity spectra of some brain arteries. Thus, it becomes a great tool in the functional assessment of intracranial circulation in ischemic cerebrovascular disease with and without intra- and extracranial arterial disease, monitoring of diseases that can lead to intracranial hypertension, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), measurement of hemodynamic repercussions in systemic diseases (sepsis and liver failure), complementary diagnosis of brain death and follow-up in sickle cell anemia, among other entities. This chapter will cover the basic principles of TCD and its main clinical applications.

This study investigated the differences in frontoparietal EEG gamma coherence between expert meditators (EM) and naïve meditators (NM).This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of twenty-one healthy adults divided under two groups (experts meditators vs. naive-meditators), with analyzing the intra-hemispheric coherence of frontoparietal gamma oscillations by electroencephalography during the study steps: EEG resting-state 1, during the open presence meditation practice, and EEG resting-state 2.The findings demonstrated greater frontoparietal EEG coherence in gamma for experts meditators in the Fp1-P3, F4-P4, F8-P4 electrode pairs during rest 1 and rest 2 (p ≤ 0.0083). In addition, we evidenced differences in the frontoparietal EEG coherence for expert meditators in F4-P4, F8-P4 during the meditation (p ≤ 0.0083).Our results can support evidence that the connectivity of the right frontoparietal network acts as a biomarker of the enhanced Open monitoring meditation training.

The voluntary movement demands integration between cognitive and motor functions. During the initial stages of motor learning until mastery of a new motor task, and during a demanding task that is not automatic, cognitive and motor functions can be perceived as independent from each other. Areas used for actually performing motor tasks are essentially the same used by Motor Imagery (MI). The main objective of this study was to investigate inhibition effects on cognitive functions of motor skills induced by low-frequency (1 Hz) Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) at the sensory-motor integration site (Cz). In particular, the goal was to examine absolute alpha and beta power changes on frontal regions during Execution, Action observation, and Motor Imagery of finger movement tasks. Eleven healthy, right-handed volunteers of both sexes (5 males, 6 females; mean age 28 ± 5 years), with no history of psychiatric or neurological disorders, participated in the experiment. The execution task consisted of the subject flexing and extending the index finger. The action observation task involved watching a video of the same movement. The motor imagery task was imagining the flexion and extension of the index finger movement. After performing the tasks randomly, subjects were submitted to 15 min of low-frequency rTMS and performed the tasks again. All tasks were executed simultaneously with EEG signals recording. Our results demonstrated a significant interaction between rTMS and the three tasks in almost all analyzed regions showing that rTMS can affect the frontal region regarding Execution, Action observation, and Motor Imagery tasks.

AIM OF THE STUDY Previous studies have shown that several cortical regions are involved in temporal tasks in multiple timescales. However, the hemispheric predominance of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during time reproduction after repetitive low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is relatively unexplored. Here, we study the effects of 1 Hz rTMS and sham stimulation applied medially over the superior parietal cortex (SPC) on the DLPFC alpha and beta band asymmetry and on time reproduction. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this purpose, we have combined rTMS with electroencephalography in 20 healthy subjects who performed the time reproduction task in two conditions (sham and 1 Hz). RESULTS The worst performance was observed in sham and 1Hz conditions for longer time intervals (p

Parkinson disease causes several changes in gait, such as postural stability, which consequently induces fall risk factors and loss of quality of life. Alternative forms of treatment through rhythmic and dance stimuli have been used to minimize the Parkinson disease effects, which have been shown to be effective in improving gait and providing social well-being and quality of life in the patient. Aim: This review aims to demonstrate the efficiency of music and dance for gait improvement and symptom alleviation in Parkinson disease. Methodology: Studies that analyzed sound stimuli and dance in gait improvement in Parkinson disease were searched through PubMed, Scopus, Doaj, MEDLINE, and ScienceDirect databases from November 2017 to April 2018 and repeated in September 2018. Results and Discussion: Forty-five studies met the inclusion criteria to synthesize the findings on dance and music performance as a treatment for classical symptoms of Parkinson disease. Five reviews and 40 experimental papers have shown that rhythmic stimulation and dance provide the motor, cognitive, and quality of life benefits for participants with Parkinson disease. Thus, sound stimuli and dance offer satisfactory effects for gait, improving cognitive abilities such as motor control and adjustment and spatial memory. In addition, these new treatment modalities stimulate the elderly population to practice physical exercise, generating well-being and helping self-esteem. Conclusion: Dance and music therapy interventions are noninvasive, simple treatment options, which promote gait and cognition.

Background Parkinson’s disease is described as resulting from dopaminergic cells progressive degeneration, specifically in the substantia nigra pars compacta that influence the voluntary movements control, decision making and time perception. Aim This review had a goal to update the relation between time perception and Parkinson’s Disease. Methodology We used the PRISMA methodology for this investigation built guided for subjects dopaminergic dysfunction in the time judgment, pharmacological models with levodopa and new studies on the time perception in Parkinson’s Disease. We researched on databases Scielo, Pubmed / Medline and ISI Web of Knowledge on August 2017 and repeated in September 2017 and February 2018 using terms and associations relevant for obtaining articles in English about the aspects neurobiology incorporated in time perception. No publication status or restriction of publication date was imposed, but we used as exclusion criteria: dissertations, book reviews, conferences or editorial work. Results/Discussion We have demonstrated that the time cognitive processes are underlying to performance in cognitive tasks and that many are the brain areas and functions involved and the modulators in the time perception performance. Conclusions The influence of dopaminergic on Parkinson’s Disease is an important research tool in Neuroscience while allowing for the search for clarifications regarding behavioral phenotypes of Parkinson’s disease patients and to study the areas of the brain that are involved in the dopaminergic circuit and their integration with the time perception mechanisms.

Circumcision is one of the most performed surgical procedures worldwide, and it is estimated that one in three men worldwide is circumcised, which makes the preputial skin removed after surgery an abundant material for possible applications. In particular, it is possible efficiently to isolate the cells of the foreskin, with fibroblasts being the most abundant cells of the dermis and the most used in biomedical research. This work aimed to review the knowledge and obtain a broad view of the main applications of human foreskin fibroblast cell culture. A literature search was conducted, including clinical trials, preclinical basic research studies, reviews and experimental studies. Several medical and laboratory applications of human foreskin fibroblast cell culture have been described, especially when it comes to the use of human foreskin fibroblasts as feeder cells for the cultivation of human embryonic stem cells, in addition to co-culture with other cell types. The culture of foreskin fibroblasts has also been used to: obtain induced pluripotent stem cells; the diagnosis of Clostridium difficile; to test the toxicity and effect of substances on normal cells, especially the toxicity of possible antineoplastic drugs; in viral culture, mainly of the human cytomegalovirus, study of the pathogenesis of other microorganisms; varied studies of cellular physiology and cellular interactions. Fibroblasts are important for cell models for varied application cultures, demonstrating how the preputial material can be reused, making possible new applications. Level of evidence: Not applicable for this multicentre audit.

Objectives The objective of this study was to present a broad view of how genetic polymorphisms in genes that control the rhythmicity and function of circadian rhythm may influence the etiology, pathophysiology and treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). Methods A bibliographic search was performed to identify and select papers reporting studies on variations in circadian genes and BD. A search of Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science was carried out to review the literature. Results Several studies provide evidence of contributions of variations in circadian genes to disease etiology, pathophysiological variations and lithium drug response. Dysfunction of the sleep-wake cycle, an important brain function regulator, is indicated as the primary means by which circadian gene variations act in mood disorders. Conclusions Investigations of the effects of circadian genes have suggested that the chronotype offers hope for guiding and improving management of patients with BD. However, BD is a disease of a complex nature and presents multiple endophenotypes determined by different associations between genetics and the environment. Thus, new genomic studies to delimit variations that may help improve the clinical condition of these patients are extremely important.

Bromazepam emulates the inhibitory effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and can lead to impaired visuomotor performance. However, few studies have evaluated its effects on cortical coupling in target shooting activities. The present study aimed to analyze the acute effects of bromazepam administration in a target shooting task and the EEG theta rhythm coherence between frontal, temporal, and motor cortical areas in four shooting preparation periods. Thus, a double blind, crossover study was conducted with 30 subjects under two conditions: bromazepam (6mg) and placebo, with electroencephalographic analysis to simultaneously study the theta rhythm coherence in frontal, temporal, and motor cortex in a target shooting task; and the possible interferences of bromazepam administration. Subjects in the bromazepam group showed lower performance on the task compared to placebo (p=0.001). In addition, our analysis showed decreased coherence between regions in the same hemisphere, increased theta rhythm coherence in interhemispheric regions in frontal, temporal and motor cortex at different intervals in the preparation preceding the shooting (p=0.001). The use of bromazepam may influence task execution, possibly due to neurochemical modulation, during decision making, developing shooting preparation strategies, as well as interfering with the flow of information at the level of attention during task execution. El bromazepam imita el efecto inhibidor del neurotransmisor ácido gamma-aminobutírico (GABA) y puede provocar un deterioro del rendimiento visuomotor. Sin embargo, pocos estudios han evaluado sus efectos sobre el acoplamiento cortical en las actividades de tiro al blanco. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los efectos agudos de la administración de bromazepam en una tarea de tiro al blanco y la coherencia del ritmo theta del EEG entre las áreas corticales frontales, temporales y motoras en cuatro períodos de preparación de tiro. Así, se realizó un estudio cruzado y a doble ciego con 30 sujetos en dos condiciones: bromazepam (6 mg) y placebo, con análisis electroencefalográfico para estudiar simultáneamente la coherencia del ritmo theta en la corteza frontal, temporal y motora en una tarea de tiro al blanco; y las posibles interferencias de la administración de bromazepam. Los sujetos del grupo de bromazepam mostraron un menor rendimiento en la tarea en comparación con el placebo (p=0,001). Además, nuestro análisis mostró una disminución de la coherencia entre regiones del mismo hemisferio y un aumento de la coherencia del ritmo theta en regiones interhemisféricas de la corteza frontal, temporal y motora a diferentes intervalos en la preparación que precede al disparo (p=0,001). El uso de bromazepam puede influir en la ejecución de la tarea, posiblemente debido a la modulación neuroquímica, durante la toma de decisiones, el desarrollo de estrategias para preparar el tiro, así como la interferencia en el flujo de información a nivel de la atención durante la ejecución de la tarea. O bromazepam imita o efeito inibidor do neurotransmissor ácido gama-aminobutírico (GABA) e podem levar ao prejuízo do desempenho visuomotor. No entanto, poucos estudos avaliaram seus efeitos no acoplamento cortical em atividades de tiro ao alvo. O presente estudo objetivou analisar os efeitos agudo da administração de bromazepam numa tarefa de tiro ao alvo e a coerência do ritmo teta do EEG entre as áreas da cortical frontal, temporal, e motora em quatro períodos preparatórios de tiro. Desse modo, foi realizado um estudo crossover e duplo cego, com 30 sujeitos sob duas condições: bromazepam (6mg) e placebo, com análise eletroencefalográfica para estudar simultaneamente a coerência do ritmo teta no córtex frontal, temporal e motor, numa tarefa de tiro ao alvo; e as possíveis interferências da administração do bromazepam. Os sujeitos do grupo bromazepam apresentaram um desempenho inferior na tarefa em comparação com o placebo (p=0,001). Além disso, a nossa análise mostrou uma diminuição da coerência entre regiões no mesmo hemisfério, um aumento da coerência do ritmo teta nas regiões interhemisféricas no córtex frontal, temporal e motor em diferentes intervalos na preparação que antecedeu o tiroteio (p=0,001). O uso de bromazepam pode influenciar a execução da tarefa, possivelmente devido à modulação neuroquímica, durante a tomada de decisões, desenvolvendo estratégias de preparação do tiro, além de interferir com o fluxo de informação ao nível da atenção durante a execução da tarefa.

Background and objectives Several studies indicate that subjects with Parkinson’s disease present motor impaired, timing and many interventions used to improve their motor behavior, but so far no training protocols that use time-estimation tasks. In this preliminary study, we aimed to report the effects of the time-estimation task training on motor behaviour and the electroencephalographic activity of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and motor cortex. Methods We analysed motor-exploration behaviour in 5 Parkinson’s patients using the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale, in addition to the alpha band absolute power activity of the electroencephalogram. Results Our results show the motor-exploration behaviour improvement in Parkinson patients after the training (p

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used as a non-invasive method for enhanced motor and cognitive abilities. However, no previous study has investigated if the tDCS application in unskilled shooters on cortical sites, selected based on the cortical activity of skilled shooters, improves the accuracy and shot grouping. Sixty participants were selected, which included 10 skilled shooters and 50 unskilled shooters. After we identified the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) as the area with the highest activity in skilled shooters, we applied anodal tDCS over the right DLPFC in the unskilled shooters under two conditions: sham-tDCS (placebo) and real-tDCS (anodal tDCS). We also analyzed electroencephalography. Our results indicated that anodal tDCS application enhanced the shot accuracy (p = 0.001). Furthermore, the beta power in the EEG recording was higher in the left DLPFC, left and right parietal cortex (p = 0,001) after applying anodal tDCS, while the low-gamma power was higher in the right DLPFC in sham-tDCS (p = 0.001) and right parietal cortex after anodal-tDCS (p = 0.001). Our findings indicate that anodal tDCS can improve accuracy and shot grouping when applied over the unskilled shooters' right DLPFC. Furthermore, beta and low-gamma bands are influenced by anodal tDCS over the right DLPFC, which may be predictive of skill improvement.
