[HTML][HTML] TMS combined with EEG: Recommendations and open issues for data collection and analysis

…, S Casarotto, EP Casula, F Farzan, M Fecchio… - Brain Stimulation, 2023 - Elsevier
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) evokes neuronal activity in the targeted cortex and
connected brain regions. The evoked brain response can be measured with …

[HTML][HTML] The rt-TEP tool: real-time visualization of TMS-Evoked Potentials to maximize cortical activation and minimize artifacts

S Casarotto, M Fecchio, M Rosanova, G Varone… - Journal of Neuroscience …, 2022 - Elsevier
Background The impact of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on cortical neurons is
currently hard to predict based on a priori biophysical and anatomical knowledge alone. Lack …

Stratification of unresponsive patients by an independently validated index of brain complexity

…, M Rosanova, S Sarasso, M Fecchio… - Annals of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Objective Validating objective, brain‐based indices of consciousness in behaviorally
unresponsive patients represents a challenge due to the impossibility of obtaining independent …

[HTML][HTML] Prevalence of depression in chronic kidney disease: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

S Palmer, M Vecchio, JC Craig, M Tonelli… - Kidney international, 2013 - Elsevier
Prevalence estimates of depression in chronic kidney disease (CKD) vary widely in existing
studies. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to …

[HTML][HTML] Bistability breaks-off deterministic responses to intracortical stimulation during non-REM sleep

…, S Casarotto, M Fecchio, M Rosanova, M Mariotti… - Neuroimage, 2015 - Elsevier
During non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (stage N3), when consciousness fades,
cortico-cortical interactions are impaired while neurons are still active and reactive. Why is this? …

Quantifying cortical EEG responses to TMS in (un) consciousness

…, S Casarotto, M Fecchio, M Boly… - Clinical EEG and …, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
We normally assess another individual’s level of consciousness based on her or his ability
to interact with the surrounding environment and communicate. Usually, if we observe …

[HTML][HTML] Sleep-like cortical OFF-periods disrupt causality and complexity in the brain of unresponsive wakefulness syndrome patients

M Rosanova, M Fecchio, S Casarotto, S Sarasso… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) patients may retain intact portions of the
thalamocortical system that are spontaneously active and reactive to sensory stimuli but fail to …

[HTML][HTML] The spectral features of EEG responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation of the primary motor cortex depend on the amplitude of the motor evoked …

M Fecchio, A Pigorini, A Comanducci, S Sarasso… - PloS one, 2017 - journals.plos.org
… For each TMS/EEG measurement we collected ~250 trials at an estimated electric field
on the cortical surface of 120 V/m To obtain this value, stimulation intensity, expressed as …

[HTML][HTML] TAAC-TMS Adaptable Auditory Control: A universal tool to mask TMS clicks

…, A Astolfi, M Massimini, M Rosanova, M Fecchio - Journal of neuroscience …, 2022 - Elsevier
