Additive neuroprotection by metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype-selective ligands in a rat Parkinson's model.

abstract：:We investigated whether cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (C-TMS) facilitates the excitability of the ipsilateral soleus motoneuron pool in resting humans, and whether the facilitation is modulated by a task that promotes cerebellar activity. A test tibial nerve stimulus evoking the H-reflex from the right ...
