Acute and Chronic Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Motor Inhibition and Cortical Excitability in Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [PDF]

Brain and Behavior
Introduction Accumulating evidence suggests that acute aerobic exercise facilitates improvement in motor inhibition among adolescents with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), potentially through exercise‐induced modulation of cortical ...

Cortical excitability is affected by light exposure – Distinct effects in adolescents and young adults [PDF]

Neurobiology of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms
Light, particularly blue-wavelength light exerts a broad range of non-image forming (NIF) effects including the stimulation of cognition and alertness and the regulation of mood, sleep and circadian rhythms.

Circadian regulation of human cortical excitability [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
AbstractProlonged wakefulness alters cortical excitability, which is essential for proper brain function and cognition. However, besides prior wakefulness, brain function and cognition are also affected by circadian rhythmicity. Whether the regulation of cognition involves a circadian impact on cortical excitability is unknown.

No effect of anodal tDCS on motor cortical excitability and no evidence for responders in a large double-blind placebo-controlled trial

Brain Stimulation, 2021
Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. Most studies show that anodal tDCS increases cortical excitability. However, this effect has been found to be highly variable. Objective:

Cortical excitability following passive movement

Physical Therapy Research, 2018
In brain injury rehabilitation, passive movement exercises are frequently used to maintain or improve mobility and range of motion. They can also induce beneficial and sustained neuroplastic changes. Neuroimaging studies have revealed that passive movements without motor commands activate not only the primary somatosensory cortex but also the primary ...

Frequency-specific modulation of motor cortical excitability by transcranial alternating current stimulation [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a non-invasive technique that modulates neural oscillations, yet its specific effects on cortical excitability are not well-understood.

Cortical excitability and cell division [PDF]

Current Biology, 2021
As the interface between the cell and its environment, the cell cortex must be able to respond to a variety of external stimuli. This is made possible in part by cortical excitability, a behavior driven by coupled positive and negative feedback loops that generate propagating waves of actin assembly in the cell cortex.

Auditory white noise exposure results in intrinsic cortical excitability changes

iScience, 2023
Summary: Cortical excitability is commonly measured by applying magnetic stimulation in combination with measuring behavioral response. This measure has, however, some shortcomings including spatial limitation to the primary motor cortex and not ...

Brain activation in motor sequence learning is related to the level of native cortical excitability. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Cortical excitability may be subject to changes through training and learning. Motor training can increase cortical excitability in motor cortex, and facilitation of motor cortical excitability has been shown to be positively correlated with improvements
