Cross‐education of lower limb muscle strength following resistance exercise training in males and females: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cross‐education describes the training of one limb that leads to performance enhancements in the contralateral untrained limb, driven by neural changes rather than muscle adaptation. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cross‐education (vs. a control group) via resistance exercise training (RET) for

Decreased corticospinal excitability after the illusion of missing part of the arm [PDF]

, 2016
Previous studies on body ownership illusions have shown that under certain multimodal conditions, healthy people can experience artificial body-parts as if they were part of their own body, with direct physiological consequences for the real limb that ...

Use of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation to explore inhibitory and facilitatory circuits in muscles of the human lower limb

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to explore the primary afferent depolarization mechanism, to determine whether the soleus transspinal evoked potential (TEP), elicited through transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation over the L1–L2 level, is modulated by presynaptic inhibition and heteronymous facilitation, similar to the Hoffmann (H) reflex, elicited ...

The effect of combined transcranial direct current stimulation and peripheral nerve electrical stimulation on corticospinal excitability.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and peripheral nerve electrical stimulation (PES) can change corticospinal excitability. tDCS can be used to non-invasively modulate the cerebral cortex's excitability by applying weak current to an ...

Short-interval intracortical inhibition and facilitation targeting upper and lower limb muscles

Scientific Reports, 2021
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to study excitability of corticospinal neurons in human motor cortex. It is currently not fully elucidated if corticospinal neurons in the hand vs.

Formation of cortical plasticity in older adults following tDCS and motor training [PDF]

, 2013
Neurodegeneration accompanies the process of natural aging, reducing the ability to perform functional daily activities. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) alters neuronal excitability and motor performance; however its beneficial effect on ...

Passive listening to preferred motor tempo modulates corticospinal excitability [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Rhythms are an essential characteristic of our lives, and auditory-motor coupling affects a variety of behaviors. Previous research has shown that the neural regions associated with motor system processing are coupled to perceptual rhythmic and melodic processing such that the perception of rhythmic stimuli can entrain motor system responses.

Corticospinal, reticulospinal and motoneuronal contributions to fatigability during a sustained contraction of the elbow flexors

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Synaptic input to the motoneuron pool is altered during fatiguing muscle contractions. In humans, the corticospinal tract is often studied, with equivocal findings regarding its role in the reduction of force. To date, the involvement of the reticulospinal tract during states of fatigue has not been explored.

Phase of beta-frequency tACS over primary motor cortex modulates corticospinal excitability

, 2018
The assessment of corticospinal excitability by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation-induced motor evoked potentials is an established diagnostic tool in neurophysiology and a widely used procedure in fundamental brain research.

Impaired transmission in the corticospinal tract and gait disability in spinal cord injured persons [PDF]

, 2010
Rehabilitation following spinal cord injury is likely to depend on recovery of corticospinal systems. Here we investigate whether transmission in the corticospinal tract may explain foot drop (inability to dorsiflex ankle) in persons with spinal cord ...
