Sustained Isometric Wrist Flexion and Extension Maximal Voluntary Contractions on Corticospinal Excitability to Forearm Muscles during Low-Intensity Hand-Gripping

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
The wrist extensors demonstrate an earlier fatigue onset than the wrist flexors. However, it is currently unclear whether fatigue induces unique changes in muscle activity or corticospinal excitability between these muscle groups.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

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

open access: yesCanadian 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]

open access: yesEuropean 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

open access: yesBrain 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

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 ...

Differences between motor execution and motor imagery of grasping movements in the motor cortical excitatory circuit [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...
