Publication Metadata only Somatosensory Evoked Potentials In Patients With Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy(2016-01-01T00:00:00Z) Ozemir, Zeynep Aydin; Matur, ZELİHA; BAYKAL, Betül; ÖGE, Ali Emre; MATUR, ZELİHAWhile a small number of studies dealing with somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) have demonstrated hyperexcitability in the primary somatosensory cortex of juve-nile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) patients, the underlying mechanisms have yet to be illuminated. Determination of higher cortical SEP responses in some JME patients and recordings of very high amplitude responses, called -giant SEP,- in a specific subgroup may indicate a clinical and possibly genetic heterogeneity within JME patients. In the present review, the findings of previous studies concerned with SEP in JME patients are summarized, and their importance regarding JME etiopathogenesis and related clinical findings is discussed.Publication Metadata only Clinical, Electrophysiological, and Serological Evaluation of Patients with Cramp-Fasciculation Syndrome(2017-06-01T00:00:00Z) Poyraz, Muruvvet; Matur, ZELİHA; Aysal, Fikret; TÜZÜN, Erdem; Hanoglu, Lutfu; ÖGE, Ali Emre; MATUR, ZELİHAIntroduction: Cramp-fasciculation syndrome (CFS) is a rare peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome. There are only a few reports on clinical and serological profile of a CFS cohort that was followed up by a single outpatient clinic.Publication Metadata only Sensorimotor Integration During Motor Learning: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies(2017-12-01T00:00:00Z) Matur, ZELİHA; ÖGE, Ali Emre; MATUR, ZELİHAThe effect of sensory signals coming from skin and muscle afferents on the sensorimotor cortical networks is entitled as sensory-motor integration (SMI). SMI can be studied electrophysiologically by the motor cortex excitability changes in response to peripheral sensory stimulation. These changes include the periods of short afferent inhibition (SAI), afferent facilitation (AF), and late afferent inhibition (LAI). During the early period of motor skill acquisition, motor cortex excitability increases and changes occur in the area covered by the relevant zone of the motor cortex. In the late period, these give place to the morphological changes, such as synaptogenesis. SAI decreases during learning the motor skills, while LAI increases during motor activity. In this review, the role of SMI in the process of motor learning and transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques performed for studying SMI is summarized.
