Corticospinal Excitability to the Biceps Brachii is Not Different When Arm Cycling at a Self-Selected or Fixed Cadence

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2019
Background: The present study compared corticospinal excitability to the biceps brachii muscle during arm cycling at a self-selected and a fixed cadence (SSC and FC, respectively).

Stimulation with acoustic white noise enhances motor excitability and sensorimotor integration

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Auditory white noise (WN) is widely used in neuroscience to mask unwanted environmental noise and cues, e.g. TMS clicks. However, to date there is no research on the influence of WN on corticospinal excitability and potentially associated sensorimotor ...

Fokus auf der Untersuchung des Einflusses biometrischer Faktoren auf das Ergebnis der nTMS Messung sprachrelevanter Areale neurochirurgischer Patienten [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Objective: Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a non-invasive mapping tool to locate functional areas of the brain, gaining importance as a preoperative diagnostic device. This is a summary of three studies, Schwarzer et al., Rosenstock

Effect of levetiracetam on human corticospinal excitability

open access: yesNeurology, 2001
To investigate whether levetiracetam (LTC) alters corticospinal excitability in humans.Although the antiepileptic activity of LTC is well recognized, its mechanism of action has yet to be determined. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to investigate the pharmacologic effects of various antiepileptic drugs on human corticospinal ...

Increased motor cortex excitability for concealed visual information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Deceptive behaviour involves complex neural processes involving the primary motor cortex. The dynamics of this motor cortex excitability prior to lying are still not well understood.

Occasional essay: upper motor neuron syndrome in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) requires recognition of both lower (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction.1 However, classical UMN signs are frequently difficult to identify in ALS.2 LMN involvement is sensitively detected ...

Corticospinal modulations during bimanual movement with different relative phases

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
The purpose of this study was to investigate corticospinal modulation of bimanual movement with different relative phases (RPs). The participants rhythmically abducted and adducted the right index finger (unimanual movement) or both index fingers ...

Static stretch and dynamic muscle activity induce acute similar increase in corticospinal excitability.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Even though the acute effects of pre-exercise static stretching and dynamic muscle activity on muscular and functional performance have been largely investigated, their effects on the corticospinal pathway are still unclear.

Cerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with ...

Combined action observation and imagery facilitates corticospinal excitability [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Observation and imagery of movement both activate similar brain regions to those involved in movement execution. As such, both are recommended as techniques for aiding the recovery of motor function following stroke. Traditionally, action observation and movement imagery (MI) have been considered as independent intervention techniques. Researchers have
