Neuronal mechanisms of motor learning and motor memory consolidation in healthy old adults [PDF]

, 2015
It is controversial whether or not old adults are capable of learning new motor skills and consolidate the performance gains into motor memory in the offline period. The underlying neuronal mechanisms are equally unclear.

Modulation of Corticospinal Excitability Depends on the Pattern of Mechanical Tactile Stimulation

Neural Plasticity, 2018
We investigated the effects of different patterns of mechanical tactile stimulation (MS) on corticospinal excitability by measuring the motor-evoked potential (MEP). This was a single-blind study that included nineteen healthy subjects.

Treadmill Training Improves Functional Recovery After Injection of Adipose‐Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction in Rats With a Spinal Cord Injury

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we investigated the effect of a strategy combining stromal vascular fraction (SVF) autograft with treadmill training after a spinal cord injury in rats. SVF injection was performed within the 4 h post‐injury. Analysis was performed using behavior tests (BBB and ladder climbing tests), gait analysis on a walking corridor, and ...

Reward does not modulate corticospinal excitability in anticipation of a Stroop trial

, 2021
Action preparation is associated with a transient decrease of corticospinal excitability just before target onset. We have previously shown that the prospect of reward modulates preparatory corticospinal excitability in a Simon task.

Effects of fatigue on corticospinal excitability of the human knee extensors

Experimental Physiology, 2016
New Findings What is the central question of this study? Do group III and IV muscle afferents act at the spinal or cortical level to affect the ability of the central nervous system to drive quadriceps muscles during fatiguing exercise? What is the main finding and its importance?

Mechanisms of post-contraction activation in skeletal muscle

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2012
This review provides evidence for the task-, intensity-, and duration-specific modulation of twitch, spinal, corticospinal and cortical responses recorded up to ~18 min after the end of a muscle contraction produced by artificial and voluntary muscle ...

Exploring the Sensorimotor System's Role in Emotional Authenticity Discrimination: A ccPAS Study

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1563, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Emotional authenticity discrimination (EAD) is key for social interactions. The social cognition hypothesis suggests that emotion recognition relies on a dynamic visuo‐motor interaction. However, the direction and role of this interaction in EAD are still unclear.

Corticospinal excitability during fatiguing whole body exercise [PDF]

, 2018
The corticospinal pathway is considered the primary conduit for voluntary motor control in humans. The efficacy of the corticospinal pathway to relay neural signals from higher brain areas to the locomotor muscle, i.e., corticospinal excitability, is subject to alterations during exercise. While the integrity of this motor pathway has historically been

Hebbian priming of human motor learning

Nature Communications
Motor learning relies on experience-dependent plasticity in relevant neural circuits. In four experiments, we provide initial evidence and a double-blinded, sham-controlled replication (Experiment I-II) demonstrating that motor learning involving ...

Cortical Contributions to Attentional Orienting and Response Cancellation in Action Stopping

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Action cancellation involves the termination of planned or ongoing movement, likely initiated in the cortex by the pre‐supplementary motor area (preSMA) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). It is frequently examined using the stop‐signal task; electromyography (EMG) studies have shown action cancellation (in stop trials) can involve the partial ...
