Over the course of several decades at the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad, fundamental studies in the field of neurosciences were of great importance and were continually kept up-to-date with global scientific achievements. These studies were applied by using the stereotactic method, single-unit recording, and electroencephalography. The Laboratory of Neurophysiology was established in 1965 and since 1978 microelectrode and microiontophoretic techniques important for the registration and analysis of the activity of individual neurons were fully developed. Under the great influence of Russian neurophysiological school (P.K. Anokhin, K.V. Sudakov), the emphasis was on the study of Anokhin's theory of functional systems. Recently, epilepsy, brain ischemia and the influence of different medications, auxiliary medicinal products, and physical agents (electromagnetic radiation) on the central nervous system, behaviour, learning and investigated pathological conditions have been studied. Scientific collaboration with renowned institutions in the country and abroad has been established, numerous scientific projects have been carried out, expert international meetings have been organized, and numerous significant studies have been published. These results have often been the basis for further clinical investigations and the improvement of preventive or curative treatment of patients. Researchers from the Laboratory participated in the education of new generations of neurophysiologists, encouraging their scientific curiosity and love for fascinating mechanisms of the nervous system.

“…The objectives of rehabilitation in spasticity are to reduce muscle tone, maintain or improve the amplitude of movements, increase strength and coordination and improve quality of life; rehabilitation to improve daily life activities; alleviating pain and muscle spasms; utilization of orthoses/splints/trolleys ...; prevention of drug abuse; delay or avoid surgical interventions [7]. Physical therapy and rehabilitation includes kinesitherapy: controlled stretching, muscle strenthening (1h per day, 5 times per week), hydrotherapy, underwater massage, parafango, cryomassage, vibrations, thermotherapeutic modalities, functional electrical stimulation/biofeedback, hippotherapy, neuromuscular facilitation according to the Bobath concept [7][8][9]. Neuromodulation is also used with the aim of reducing the intensity of neuropathic pain, spasm and spastic pain by: low frequency direct current or injections of medications in the spinal subdural space [3,10].…”

Introduction. Spasticity is an interrrupted or constant hyperactivity of the sceletal muscles, caused by lesion of the upper motor neuron. The aim of this article was to gather scientifically and clinically important data about spasticity. Morpho-functional basis on which spasticity originates. The spasm is motoric disorder in which an increased muscle tone is present (especially of antigravity muscles), with slower movements and tendency of appearing moderate atrophy and contractures. Etiology. Spasticity may be caused by stroke; demyelinating diseases (sclerosis multiplex, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis); cerebral palsy; tumors; brain and spinal cord damage (trauma, ischemia, surgical intervention); other neurodegenerative diseases. Symptoms. There are a number of symptoms: increased muscle tone, joint stiffness, overactive reflexes, involuntary jerky movements, which may include spasms and clonus, pain, decreased functional abilities and delayed motor development, difficulty with care and hygiene, unusual posture, abnormal positioning of fingers, wrists, arms, or shoulders, contractures or muscle tightness. Management of spasticity-therapeutic treatment: physical therapy and rehabilitation, medicamentous and surgical treatment. Conclusion. Spasticity is a complex phenomenon with constant hyperactivity of the sceletal muscles, it is one component of upper motoneuron syndrome and many neurological diseases and disorders. Therapeutic treatment of spasticity should be highly specific, individualized, multidisciplinar and conducted carefully, controlled with the purpose of functional improvement and pain relief. It is significant to know that sometimes spasticity is useful and should not be removed. There is a need for standardized protocols for 'best practice' in management of spasticity.
