Cognitive deficits are a common consequence of neurologic disease, in particular, of traumatic
brain injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders, and there is evidence that specific …

Background and purpose: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been employed in
following up a population of 20 stroke patients in a post-acute, apparently stabilized stage. …

The representation of time, space and numbers are strictly linked in the primate's cognitive
system. Here we show that merely looking at number symbols biases a temporal judgment on …

A number of researchers have proposed that the premotor and motor areas are critical for the
representation of words that refer to actions, but not objects. Recent evidence against this …

It has been suggested that figurative language, which includes idioms, is controlled by the
right hemisphere. We tested the right hemisphere hypothesis by using repetitive transcranial …

Background and Purpose— Changes in the intracortical inhibition (ICI) and facilitation (ICF)
of motor cortex paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation were reported in the affected (…

Time processing is important in several cognitive and motor functions, but it is still unclear
how the human brain perceives time intervals of different durations. Processing of time in …

Hemispatial neglect is common after unilateral brain damage, particularly to perisylvian
structures in the right-hemisphere (RH). In this disabling syndrome, behaviour and awareness …

We applied repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in order to induce interference
on visuo-spatial perception in 11 healthy subjects. Subjects performed a visuo-spatial task …

Here, we review recent transcranial magnetic stimulation studies and investigations in
patients with neurological disease such as Parkinson's disease and stroke, showing that the …
