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.

Motor imagery perspective shapes corticospinal excitability with effector-specific effects [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Motor imagery (MI) allows individuals to mentally simulate movements without execution, engaging neural pathways that overlap with those used during real actions.

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)

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.

Lower corticospinal excitability and greater fatigue among people with multiple sclerosis experiencing pain

Multiple Sclerosis Journal - Experimental, Translational and Clinical, 2023
Introduction Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently report pain that negatively affects their quality of life. Evidence linking pain and corticospinal excitability in MS is sparse.

Electrically Evoked Compound Action Potentials in Spinal Cord Stimulation: Implications for Preclinical Research Models

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives The study aimed to assess the feasibility of recording electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) from the rat spinal cord. To achieve this, we characterized electrophysiological responses of dorsal column (DC) axons from electrical stimulation and quantified the relationship between ECAP and motor thresholds (ECAPTs and

Physical Activity Modulates Corticospinal Excitability of the Lower Limb in Young and Old Adults [PDF]

, 2017
Aging is associated with reduced neuromuscular function, which may be due in part to altered corticospinal excitability. Regular physical activity (PA) may ameliorate these age-related declines, but the influence of PA on corticospinal excitability is ...
