Fractal phototherapy: impact on the structure and function of the retina of rabbits with modelled retinal pigment epithelium atrophy by D. V. Fadeev, N. V. Neroeva, M. V. Zueva, I. V. Tsapenko, V. I. Kotelin, T. A. Pavlenko, O. V. Beznos, T. D. Okhotsimskaya, P. A. Ilyukhin, Yu. S. Timofeev

“…It is believed that in degenerative diseases of the retina, photostimulation by fractal dynamics signals activates neuroplasticity, thereby increasing the efficiency of visual rehabilitation. Previously, we showed a positive effect of fractal phototherapy (FF) on the electroretinogram (ERG) of healthy rabbits and demonstrated the safety of long-term photostimulation courses for the retina. …”

Effects of Rubber Hand Illusion and Excitatory Theta Burst Stimulation on Tactile Sensation: A Pilot Study by Vanessa N. Frey, Kevin Butz, Georg Zimmermann, Alexander Kunz, Yvonne Höller, Stefan Golaszewski, Eugen Trinka, Raffaele Nardone

“…The rubber hand illusion (RHI) paradigm experimentally produces an illusion of rubber hand ownership and arm shift by simultaneously stroking a rubber hand in view and a participant’s visually occluded hand. The aim of this cross-over, placebo-controlled, single-blind study was to assess whether RHI, in combination with high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) given as intermittent (excitatory) theta burst stimulation (iTBS) applied over the hand area of the primary sensory region (S1) can enhance tactile sensation in a group of 21 healthy subjects and one patient with cervical spinal cord injury. …”
