The After-Effect of Accelerated Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation at Different Session Intervals

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
ObjectiveThe study aims to investigate the after-effect of three sessions of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) on motor cortical excitability. The iTBS was induced over the primary motor cortex (M1) at different time intervals.MethodsThe study ...

Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation Over the DorsoLateral PreFrontal Cortex (DLPFC) in Healthy Subjects Produces No Cumulative Effect on Cortical Excitability

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Background: Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) is a design of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and could be a candidate to replace rTMS in the treatment of depression, thanks to its efficacy, shorter duration, and ease of use.

Resting motor threshold in the course of hand motor recovery after stroke: a systematic review

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Resting motor threshold is an objective measure of cortical excitability. Numerous studies indicate that the success of motor recovery after stroke is significantly determined by the direction and extent of cortical excitability changes.

Primary sensory and motor cortex excitability are co-modulated in response to peripheral electrical nerve stimulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) is a common clinical technique known to induce changes in corticomotor excitability; PES applied to induce a tetanic motor contraction increases, and PES at sub-motor threshold (sensory) intensities decreases ...

Instantaneous voltage as an alternative to power- and phase-based interpretation of oscillatory brain activity

NeuroImage, 2017
For decades, oscillatory brain activity has been characterized primarily by measurements of power and phase. While many studies have linked those measurements to cortical excitability, their relationship to each other and to the physiological ...

Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation in modulating cortical excitability in patients with stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has attracted plenty of attention as it has been proved to be effective in facilitating motor recovery in patients with stroke.

Cardiac activity impacts cortical motor excitability.

PLoS Biology, 2023
Human cognition and action can be influenced by internal bodily processes such as heartbeats. For instance, somatosensory perception is impaired both during the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle and when heartbeats evoke stronger cortical responses ...

Early brainstem [18F]THK5351 uptake is linked to cortical hyperexcitability in healthy aging

JCI Insight, 2021
BACKGROUND Neuronal hyperexcitability characterizes the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In animals, early misfolded tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) protein accumulation — both central to AD neuropathology — promote cortical excitability and neuronal ...
