Age-related decrease in motor cortical inhibition during standing under different sensory conditions [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Although recent studies point to the involvement of the primary motor cortex in postural control, it is unknown if age-related deterioration of postural control is associated with changes in motor cortical circuits.

Mapping the Causal Roles of Non‐Primary Motor Areas in Human Reach Planning and Execution

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 2, February 1, 2026.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the contralateral premotor and parietal cortex altered reaching performance, indicating their role in early movement planning. Among ipsilateral targets, only the dorsal premotor cortex showed consistent effects, which were predicted by resting‐state connectivity.

Long-term progressive motor skill training enhances corticospinal excitability for the ipsilateral hemisphere and motor performance of the untrained hand [PDF]

, 2017
It is well established that unilateral motor practice can lead to increased performance in the opposite non-trained hand. Here, we test the hypothesis that progressively increasing task difficulty during long-term skill training with the dominant right ...

A systematic review of brain health in adults with chronic pain

Anaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 248-262, February 2026.
Summary Introduction Recent research has linked chronic pain with an increased risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Yet structural and functional brain changes associated with chronic pain and their potential role in accelerating brain ageing have not been characterised comprehensively.

Effects of Leg Motor Imagery Combined With Electrical Stimulation on Plasticity of Corticospinal Excitability and Spinal Reciprocal Inhibition

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Motor imagery (MI) combined with electrical stimulation (ES) enhances upper-limb corticospinal excitability. However, its after-effects on both lower limb corticospinal excitability and spinal reciprocal inhibition remain unknown. We aimed to investigate

Age-related differences in corticospinal excitability during observation and motor imagery of balance tasks [PDF]

, 2016
Postural control declines across adult lifespan. Non-physical balance training has been suggested as an alternative to improve postural control in frail/immobilized elderly people.

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.

Modeling cerebral palsy in animals

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 158-174, February 2026.
Abstract Advancements in the treatment of cerebral palsy depend on animal research. Yet, most animal models have not been fully evaluated for spasticity and dystonia using clinically relevant measures of altered tone or movement patterns, which form the basis for diagnosing people with the condition.

Low intensity focused ultrasound stimulation in stroke: A phase I safety & feasibility trial

Brain Stimulation
Objective: We aimed to determine the maximum safe spatial-peak pulse-average intensity (ISPPA) of low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) in stroke patients and explore its effect on motor learning and corticospinal excitability. Methods: We

Effect of Cutaneous Heat Pain on Corticospinal Excitability of the Tibialis Anterior at Rest and during Submaximal Contraction

Neural Plasticity, 2018
Previous studies have shown that pain can interfere with motor control. The neural mechanisms underlying these effects remain largely unknown. At the upper limb, mounting evidence suggests that pain-induced reduction in corticospinal excitability is ...
