Differential modulation of corticospinal excitability by different current densities of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Novel non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been developed in recent years. TDCS-induced corticospinal excitability changes depend on two important factors current intensity and ...

Effect of bihemispheric transcranial direct current stimulation on distal upper limb function and corticospinal tract excitability in a patient with subacute stroke: a case study

Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2023
IntroductionActivation of the unaffected hemisphere contributes to motor function recovery post stroke in patients with severe upper limb motor paralysis.

Muscarinic receptor blockade causes post-contraction enhancement in corticospinal excitability following maximal contractions

, 2021
Although synaptic transmission in motor pathways can be regulated by neuromodulators such as acetylcholine, few studies have examined how cholinergic activity affects cortical and spinal motor circuits following muscle contractions of varying intensities.

Disrupted Ankle Control and Spasticity in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury: The Association Between Neurophysiologic Measures and Function. A Scoping Review

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Control of muscles about the ankle joint is an important component of locomotion and balance that is negatively impacted by spinal cord injury (SCI).

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

, 2014
BackgroundAlthough 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.

The Excitability of Human Corticospinal Neurons is Depressed by Thiopental [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1995
AbstractBackgroundWe tested the effect of thiopental on the excitability of the corticospinal-motoneuron axis in normal human subjects.MethodsMagnetic stimulation was used to excite the neurons in the motor cortex which give rise to the fast conducting corticospinal pathway.

Increases of corticospinal excitability in self‐related processing [PDF]

European Journal of Neuroscience, 2012
AbstractInvolvement of fronto‐parietal structures within the right hemisphere in bodily self recognition has gained convergent support from behavioural, neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies. Increases in corticospinal excitability via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) also testify to right hemisphere self‐related processing.

Corticospinal excitability during the observation of social behavior

Brain and Cognition, 2013
Evidence suggests that the observation of an action induces in the observers an enhancement of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) recorded by the observer's muscles corresponding to those involved in the observed action. Although this is a well-studied phenomenon, it remains still unclear how the viewer's motor facilitation is influenced by the social ...

Stimulation with acoustic white noise enhances motor excitability and sensorimotor integration

Scientific 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 ...
