Abstract excerpt
In focal hand dystonia, long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD)-like neuronal plasticity, as assessed by paired associative stimulation (PAS) targeting the hand-associated motor cortex, is enhanced and the topographic organization of plasticity is lost. However, if any of these abnormalities alone is sufficient to cause focal dystonia (FD) remains unknown. Ten patients with cervical dystonia (CD), 9...
