Action Video Game Playing Is Reflected In Enhanced Visuomotor Performance and Increased Corticospinal Excitability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Action video game playing is associated with improved visuomotor performance; however, the underlying neural mechanisms associated with this increased performance are not well understood.

Congenital mirror movements in a new Italian family [PDF]
, 2014 Mirror movements (MMs) occur on the contralateral side of a limb being used intentionally. Because few families with congenital MMs and no other neurological signs have been reported, the underlying mechanisms of MMs are still not entirely clear.

Changing ideas about others' intentions: updating prior expectations tunes activity in the human motor system [PDF]
, 2016 Predicting intentions from observing another agent’s behaviours is often thought to depend on motor resonance – i.e., the motor system’s response to a perceived movement by the activation of its stored motor counterpart, but observers might also rely on ...

Differences between motor execution and motor imagery of grasping movements in the motor cortical excitatory circuit [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Both motor imagery (MI) and motor execution (ME) can facilitate motor cortical excitability. Although cortical excitability is modulated by intracortical inhibitory and excitatory circuits in the human primary motor cortex, it is not clear ...

Reach-To-Grasp Movements: A Multimodal Techniques Study [PDF]
, 2018 The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between corticospinal activity, kinematics, and electromyography (EMG) associated with the execution of precision and whole-hand grasps (WHGs).

Congruent and Incongruent Corticospinal Activations at the Level of Multiple Effectors [PDF]
, 2015 Motor resonance is defined as the subliminal activation of the motor system while observing actions performed by others. However, resonating with another person's actions is not always an appropriate response: In real life, people do not just imitate but

Effectiveness of muscle vibration in modulating corticospinal excitability
The Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, 2005 This study explored the effect of vibration of the forearm extensors on motor cortical excitability and the influence of stimulus duration. Sixteen healthy volunteers between 23 and 42 years old participated in one or two studies. We applied 15 or 30 min of 100 Hz, 0.5 mm-amplitude vibration to the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscle. Cortical

Strategies to augment volitional and reflex function may improve locomotor capacity following incomplete spinal cord injury [PDF]
, 2018 Many studies highlight the remarkable plasticity demonstrated by spinal circuits following an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Such plasticity can contribute to improvements in volitional motor recovery, such as walking function, although similar ...
