Overt orienting of spatial attention and corticospinal excitability during action observation are unrelated [PDF]

, 2017
Observing moving body parts can automatically activate topographically corresponding motor representations in the primary motor cortex (M1), the so-called direct matching.

Changes in corticospinal transmission following 8 weeks of ankle joint immobilization [PDF]

, 2015
Joint immobilization has previously been shown to modulate corticospinal excitability. The present study investigated changes in the excitability of distinct fractions of the corticospinal pathway by means of conditioning the H-reflex with transcranial ...

Increased motor cortex excitability for concealed visual information [PDF]

, 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.

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.

Effect of levetiracetam on human corticospinal excitability

Neurology, 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 ...

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

Brain 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

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 ...

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

, 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]

Frontiers 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

Corticospinal modulations during bimanual movement with different relative phases

Frontiers 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 ...
