Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, May 2026.Abstract In limb muscles, corticospinal excitability is modulated by motor context, with greater facilitation during movement initiation and dynamic contractions than during sustained isometric activation. Whether this applies to the human diaphragm remains uncertain, given the hybrid automatic‐voluntary control and continuous activity of respiratory ...

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.

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 ...

Hebbian priming of human motor learning
Nature CommunicationsMotor 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 ...

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.

Adaptations in corticospinal excitability and inhibition are not spatially confined to the agonist muscle following strength training [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to determine the corticospinal responses from an agonist and synergist muscle following strength training of the right elbow flexors.

Exercising control over memory consolidation [PDF]
, 2017 Exercise can improve human cognition. A mechanistic connection between exercise and cognition has been revealed in several recent studies. Exercise increases cortical excitability and this in turn leads to enhanced memory consolidation.

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

Corticospinal Excitability Predicts Antidepressant Response to RTMS
European Psychiatry, 2017 Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is a treatment option for patients with medication-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD). However, antidepressant response is variable and there are currently no response predictors with sufficient accuracy for clinical use.
