Understanding the relationship between parameter input and neural output will be necessary both to build informative models of the brain's functional connectivity and to improve responses to stimulation-based neuromodulation therapies.

Here we demonstrate the persistence of oddball discrimination, semantic processing and online prediction in individuals under general-anaesthesia-induced loss of consciousness4,5.

CBS is commonly seen in tauopathies.

Publication Date 3-1-2026 Journal Movement Disorders Clinical Practice PubMedCentral® Posted Date 10-11-2025 PubMedCentral® Full Text Version Post-print Abstract Background: Whether the traditional distinction between segmental and multifocal dystonia is clinically or scientifically useful remains unclear.

RBD was confirmed in 5 of 10 (50 %) participants with polysomnography. Veterans with subthreshold parkinsonism had lower olfactory scores.

Objective: To validate Baylor Driving Questionnaire for Movement Disorders (BDQMD) by objective driving assessment (ODA).

Publication Date 8-29-2023 Journal Military Medicine DOI 10.1093/milmed/usac151 Abstract Introduction: The healthy soldier effect (HSE) describes a phenomenon of enduring health and lower mortality among veterans due in part to initial screening procedures and health care access. Although early data were supportive of a broad HSE among former military members, more recent investigations have suggested a possible attenuation of the effect with older age.

Publication Date 6-30-2025 Journal Military Medicine DOI 10.1093/milmed/usae526 Abstract Introduction: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Epilepsy Centers of Excellence (ECoE) was established in 2008 to provide specialized care for veterans with epilepsy. Although established more than a decade ago, there has been no systematic evaluation of the ECoE's performance in key mission areas.
