Many specialists for suppressing cortical excitation [PDF]
frontiers in Neuroscience, 2008 Cortical computations are critically dependent on GABA-releasing neurons for dynamically balancing excitation with inhibition that is proportional to the overall level of activity. Although it is widely accepted that there are multiple types of interneurons, defining their identities based on qualitative descriptions of morphological, molecular and ...

Handedness and the excitability of cortical inhibitory circuits [PDF]
Behavioural Brain Research, 2012 Inhibitory processes play a significant role in the control of goal-directed actions. To increase insights into these mechanisms as a function of handedness, we measured the transient inhibition of volitional motor activity induced by single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation during bimanual isometric contractions with symmetrical and asymmetrical

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as a Tool to Investigate Motor Cortex Excitability in Sport
Brain Sciences, 2021 Transcranial magnetic stimulation, since its introduction in 1985, has brought important innovations to the study of cortical excitability as it is a non-invasive method and, therefore, can be used both in healthy and sick subjects.

Mixed mode oscillations in mouse spinal motoneurons arise from a low excitability state [PDF]
, 2011 We explain the mechanism that elicits the mixed mode oscillations (MMOs) and the subprimary firing range that we recently discovered in mouse spinal motoneurons.

Cortical excitability in migraine [PDF]
The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2000 Cortical hyperexcitability in migraine has been suggested to play a pivotal role in triggering migraine attacks, possibly via generation of spreading depression. Low levels of plasma, intracellular and brain magnesium as well as increased amplitudes of visual evoked potentials support this theory. More recent data on evoked and even related potentials,

Effects of motor preparation and spatial attention on corticospinal excitability in a delayed-response paradigm [PDF]
, 2007 The preparation of motor responses during the delay period of an instructed delay task is associated with sustained neural firing in the primate premotor cortex.

Natural Frequencies of Levodopa‐Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Abnormal involuntary movements, known as dyskinesias, are common complications of levodopa treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease and can significantly impair quality of life. The underlying pathophysiology remains unclear, and current therapeutic options are limited.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background We aimed to identify the proportion of individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) or juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) who show a negative routine EEG (rEEG), and to determine the main factors associated with this finding.
