  1. 1. Traumatic brain injury and its impact on working memory : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Li Hallgren; Naema Adani Mohammed; [2023]
    Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; working memory; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; transcranial direct current stimulation;

    Abstract : The purpose of this systematic review is to provide insight into the impact traumatic brain injury (TBI) has on the executive function known as the working memory. TBI is a damage to the brain that occurs when the brain is critically injured to the degree that it impacts several brain regions and functions such as the hippocampus, its surrounding areas, the prefrontal cortex, and the performance of the working memory ability.

  3. 2. Transcranial magnetic stimulation induced blindsight : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Simon Redlund; Ellen Carlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Blindsight; TMS; transcranial magnetic stimulation; visual cortex; unconscious;

    Abstract : Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients suffering damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) perceive themselves as blind, but nonetheless seem to have some residual capacity to distinguish between visual stimuli better than chance. Blindsight can be divided into two subtypes: blindsight type I and blindsight type II. READ MORE

  4. 3. TMS stimulus-response asymmetry in lower limbs : Difference in stimulated muscles between dominant and non-dominant leg

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Adna Pivac; [2022]
    Keywords : lower limbs; motor evoked potential; motor cortex; stimulus-response asymmetry; transcranial magnetic stimulation;

    Abstract : Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a 37-year-old non-invasive tool and can be used for diagnostic, therapeutics, and research purposes. In research, TMS is mostly used to stimulate the motor cortex, resulting in a neuroelectric excitatory response called a motor evoked potential (MEP). READ MORE
