Active Touch Intervention Using a Rough Texture Enhances Corticospinal Excitability [PDF]

Brain and Behavior
Introduction We aimed to clarify the effects of an active touch intervention using different textures on corticospinal excitability. Methods A total of 30 healthy individuals participated in the active touch intervention.

Modulation of human corticospinal excitability by paired associative stimulation [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) has come to prominence as a potential therapeutic intervention for the treatment of brain injury/disease, and as an experimental method with which to investigate Hebbian principles of neural plasticity in humans ...

Experimental acute muscle pain and itch induce similar inhibitory effects on corticospinal excitability [PDF]

PAIN Reports
. Introduction:. Pain and itch provoke different motor behaviors. Pain induces motor inhibition, whereas itch triggers an active scratching response.

Modulation of Corticospinal Excitability during Action Observation in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness [PDF]

Brain Sciences
Brain imaging studies have recently provided some evidence in favor of covert cognitive processes that are ongoing in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) (e.g., a minimally conscious state and vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome)

Age and asymmetry of corticospinal excitability, but not cardiorespiratory fitness, predict cognitive impairments in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2023
Background: Cognitive impairment is a disabling and underestimated consequence of multiple sclerosis (MS), with multiple determinants that are poorly understood.

Corticospinal excitability across lower limb muscles in humans.

J Neurophysiol, 2023
We provide evidence on how corticospinal output differs across muscles in the leg in intact humans. We found that corticospinal responses were larger in a distal intrinsic foot muscle and were smaller in the biceps femoris compared to all other muscles in the leg.

Overt orienting of spatial attention and corticospinal excitability during action observation are unrelated [PDF]

, 2017
Observing moving body parts can automatically activate topographically corresponding motor representations in the primary motor cortex (M1), the so-called direct matching.

Effects of action observation and motor imagery of walking on the corticospinal and spinal motoneuron excitability and motor imagery ability in healthy participants

PLoS ONE, 2022
Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are used for the rehabilitation of patients who face difficulty walking. Rehabilitation involving AO, MI, and AO combined with MI (AO+MI) facilitates gait recovery after neurological disorders.

The Corticospinal Excitability Can Be Predicted by Spontaneous Electroencephalography Oscillations

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has a wide range of clinical applications, and there is growing interest in neural oscillations and corticospinal excitability determined by TMS.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Targeting the Entire Motor Network Does Not Increase Corticospinal Excitability

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the contralateral primary motor cortex of the target muscle (conventional tDCS) has been described to enhance corticospinal excitability, as measured with transcranial magnetic stimulation.
