AbstractThe role of beta band activity in cortico-basal ganglia interactions during motor control has been studied extensively in resting-state and for simple movements, such as button pressing. However, little is known about how beta oscillations change and interact in more complex situations involving rapid changes of movement in various contexts.

AbstractBackgroundEssential tremor is hypothesized to emerge from synchronized oscillatory activity within the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit. However, this hypothesis has not yet been tested using local field potentials directly recorded from the thalamus alongside signals from both the cortex and cerebellum, leaving a gap in the understanding of essential tremor. ObjectivesTo clarify the importance of cerebello-thalamo-cortical oscillatory coupling for essential tremor.

AbstractBesides parkinsonism, higher order cortical dysfunctions such as apraxia are hallmarks of the corticobasal syndrome (CBS). To date, little is known about the electrophysiological underpinnings of these symptoms. To shed more light on the pathophysiology of CBS, we recorded the magnetoencephalogram of 17 CBS patients and 20 age-matched controls engaged in an observe-to-imitate task.
