Postural control in humans: a study using transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate the spinal mechanisms involved in regulating postural balance in humans. Participants stood in a normal stance, with their spinal postural networks either non‐invasively activated or not stimulated by electrical stimulation.

Motor corticospinal excitability: a novel facet of pain modulation?

PAIN Reports, 2019
. Introduction:. Increase in excitability of the primary motor cortex (M1) is associated with pain inhibition by analgesics, which is, in turn, associated with the psychophysical antinociceptive pain modulation profile.

Increased Bilateral Interactions in Middle-Aged Subjects [PDF]

, 2014
A hallmark of the age-related neural reorganization is that old versus young adults execute typical motor tasks by a more diffuse neural activation pattern including stronger ipsilateral activation during unilateral tasks.

Corticomotor Excitability Changes Induced by Progressive Balance Exercises in Chronic Ankle Instability: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Corticomotor excitability changes induced by progressive balance exercises in chronic ankle instability: A randomized clinical trial. ABSTRACT Background Progressive balance exercises may change corticomotor excitability during the learning process of postural stability control.

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 ...

Modulation of human corticospinal excitability by paired associative stimulation in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and effects of Riluzole [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes an impairment in both the upper and lower motor neurons. The recent description of numerous non-motor signs points to an involvement of the neocortex networks that ...

Distinct Roles of Dopamine and Noradrenaline in Physical Fatigue

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This triple‐blinded randomized crossover study investigated the roles of dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA) in regulating exercise performance and fatigue using acute pharmacological manipulation. Eighteen healthy adults (9 males and 9 females; mean age = 23.4 ± 2.2 years) completed three experimental conditions.

Motor imagery and electrical stimulation reproduce corticospinal excitability at levels similar to voluntary muscle contraction [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundThe combination of voluntary effort and functional electrical stimulation (ES) appears to have a greater potential to induce plasticity in the motor cortex than either electrical stimulation or voluntary training alone. However, it is not clear

Astrocyte MCT1 Expression Does Not Contribute to the Axonal Degenerative Phenotype Observed With Ubiquitous MCT1 Depletion

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 2, February 2026.
Loss of astrocytic MCT1 does not cause late onset neurodegeneration. As ubiquitous MCT1 deletion causes axonal degeneration, oligodendrocytes and potentially other cells are more prominent drivers of MCT1‐mediated metabolic support of neurons. ABSTRACT We recently reported that the loss of oligodendrocyte metabolic support through the lactate and ...

Changes in corticospinal and spinal excitability to the biceps brachii with a neutral versus pronated handgrip position differ between arm cycling and tonic elbow flexion

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of neutral and pronated handgrip positions on corticospinal excitability to the biceps brachii during arm cycling.
