Expectancy induces dynamic modulation of corticospinal excitability. [PDF]
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2007 Behavioral studies using motor preparation paradigms have revealed that increased expectancy of a response signal shortens reaction times (RTs). Neurophysiological data suggest that in such paradigms, not only RT but also neuronal activity in the motor ...

The Immediate and Short-Term Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation on Corticospinal Excitability [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Rehabilitative interventions involving electrical stimulation show promise for neuroplastic recovery in people living with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). However, the understanding of how stimulation interacts with descending and spinal excitability remain ...

The Impact of Glucose on Corticospinal and Intracortical Excitability [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2019 Neurotransmission is highly dependent on the availability of glucose-derived energy, although it is unclear how glucose availability modulates corticospinal and intracortical excitability as assessed via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Effects of Lactate on Corticospinal Excitability: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
Int J Exerc SciInternational Journal of Exercise Science 17(2): 1429-1443, 2024. Aerobic exercise has been shown to impact corticospinal excitability (CSE), however the mechanism(s) by which this occurs is unclear.

Changes in corticospinal excitability in response to mediolateral gait instability. [PDF]
Exp PhysiolUnpredictable gait disturbances, particularly in the mediolateral direction, pose a significant challenge to stability and are a common contributor to falls. Although the corticospinal tract is critical for gait and postural control, its response to such

Real-time changes in corticospinal excitability during voluntary contraction with concurrent electrical stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 While previous studies have assessed changes in corticospinal excitability following voluntary contraction coupled with electrical stimulation (ES), we sought to examine, for the first time in the field, real-time changes in corticospinal excitability ...

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.

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 ...
