    Abstract In medicine, an adverse effect (AE) is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or intervention and procedures. Some AEs only occur when starting, increasing or discontinuing a treatment; in this case they are a function of dosage or drug levels at the target organs, or they may also be caused by drug interactions. The distinction between adverse and non-adverse effects is a major undertaking when a new drug is developed and tested. Studies are used to define the dosage to be used in human testing (Phase 1) as well as to calculate the maximum admissible daily intake. Imperfections in clinical trials sometimes lead to public health disasters and the withdrawal of the drug from commerce. Surgery may have a number of undesirable or harmful after-effects. Diagnostic procedures may also have AEs, depending much on whether they are invasive, non-invasive or minimally invasive. In clinical trials, a distinction is made between AEs and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Generally, any event which causes death, permanent damage, birth defects, or requires hospitalization is considered an SAE.

    Abstract Aim of this study was to verify whether the topological organization of human brain functional networks is different for males and females in resting state EEGs. Undirected and weighted brain networks were computed by eLORETA lagged linear connectivity in 130 subjects (59 males and 71 females) within each hemisphere and in four resting state networks (Attentional Network (AN), Frontal Network (FN), Sensorimotor Network (SN), Default Mode Network (DMN)). We found that small-world (SW) architecture in the left hemisphere Frontal network presented differences in both delta and alpha band, in particular lower values in delta and higher in alpha 2 in males respect to females while in the right hemisphere differences were found in lower values of SW in males respect to females in gamma Attentional, delta Sensorimotor and delta and gamma DMNs. Gender small-worldness differences in some of resting state networks indicated that there are specific brain differences in the EEG rhythms when the brain is in the resting-state condition. These specific regions could be considered related to the functions of behavior and cognition and should be taken into account both for research on healthy and brain diseased subjects.

    Abstract There is increasing evidence to support the concept that adult brain has the remarkable ability to plastically reorganize itself. Brain plasticity involves distinct functional and structural components and plays a crucial role in reorganizing central nervous system's networks after any lesion in order to partly or totally restore lost and/or compromised functions. The idea that a computer can decode brain electromagnetic signals to infer the intentions of a human and then enact those intentions directly through a machine is becoming a reasonable technical possibility. In neurological patients unable to move and to communicate with the external environment, technologies implementing brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) can be of valuable aid and support. The emerging possibility, through neuro-imaging advanced techniques, to clarify some crucial issues underlying brain plasticity will give the possibility to modulate these mechanisms in a BCI-oriented way. This approach may have a tremendous impact in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders and the clinical advent of this technology will usher in a new era of restorative medicine.

    Abstract Objective: Hemianopia after occipital stroke is believed to be mainly due to local damage at or near the lesion site. However, magnetic resonance imaging studies suggest functional connectivity network (FCN) reorganization also in distant brain regions. Because it is unclear whether reorganization is adaptive or maladaptive, compensating for, or aggravating vision loss, we characterized FCNs electrophysiologically to explore local and global brain plasticity and correlated FCN reorganization with visual performance. Methods: Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded in chronic, unilateral stroke patients and healthy age-matched controls (n = 24 each). This study was approved by the local ethics committee. The correlation of oscillating EEG activity was calculated with the imaginary part of coherence between pairs of regions of interest, and FCN graph theory metrics (degree, strength, clustering coefficient) were correlated with stimulus detection and reaction time. Results: Stroke brains showed altered FCNs in the alpha- and low beta-band in numerous occipital, temporal brain structures. On a global level, FCN had a less efficient network organization whereas on the local level node networks were reorganized especially in the intact hemisphere. Here, the occipital network was 58% more rigid (with a more "regular" network structure) whereas the temporal network was 32% more efficient (showing greater "small-worldness"), both of which correlated with worse or better visual processing, respectively. Conclusions: Occipital stroke is associated with both local and global FCN reorganization, but this can be both adaptive and maladaptive. We propose that the more "regular" FCN structure in the intact visual cortex indicates maladaptive plasticity, where less processing efficacy with reduced signal/noise ratio may cause the perceptual deficits in the intact visual field (VF). In contrast, reorganization in intact temporal brain regions is presumably adaptive, possibly supporting enhanced peripheral movement perception.

    Abstract Providing somatosensory feedback to amputees is a long-standing objective in prosthesis research. Recently, implantable neural interfaces have yielded promising results in this direction. There is now considerable evidence that the nervous system integrates redundant signals optimally, weighting each signal according to its reliability. One question of interest is whether artificial sensory feedback is combined with other sensory information in a natural manner. In this single-case study, we show that an amputee with a bidirectional prosthesis integrated artificial somatosensory feedback and blurred visual information in a statistically optimal fashion when estimating the size of a hand-held object. The patient controlled the opening and closing of the prosthetic hand through surface electromyography, and received intraneural stimulation proportional to the object's size in the ulnar nerve when closing the robotic hand on the object. The intraneural stimulation elicited a vibration sensation in the phantom hand that substituted the missing haptic feedback. This result indicates that sensory substitution based on intraneural feedback can be integrated with visual feedback and make way for a promising method to investigate multimodal integration processes.

    Abstract Although peripheral nerve stimulation using intraneural electrodes has been shown to be an effective and reliable solution to restore sensory feedback after hand loss, there have been no reports on the characterization of multi-channel stimulation. A deeper understanding of how the simultaneous stimulation of multiple electrode channels affects the evoked sensations should help in improving the definition of encoding strategies for bidirectional prostheses. We characterized the sensations evoked by simultaneous stimulation of median and ulnar nerves (multi-channel configuration) in four transradial amputees who had been implanted with four TIMEs (Transverse Intrafascicular Multichannel Electrodes). The results were compared with the characterization of single-channel stimulation. The sensations were characterized in terms of location, extent, type, and intensity. Combining two or more single-channel configurations caused a linear combination of the sensation locations and types perceived with such single-channel stimulations. Interestingly, this was also true when two active sites from the same nerve were stimulated. When stimulating in multi-channel configuration, the charge needed from each electrode channel to evoke a sensation was significantly lower than the one needed in single-channel configuration (sensory facilitation). This result was also supported by electroencephalography (EEG) recordings during nerve stimulation. Somatosensory potentials evoked by multi-channel stimulation confirmed that sensations in the amputated hand were perceived by the subjects and that a perceptual sensory facilitation occurred. Our results should help the future development of more efficient bidirectional prostheses by providing guidelines for the development of more complex stimulation approaches to effectively restore multiple sensations at the same time.
