Corticospinal excitability is modulated by temporal feedback gaps

NeuroReport, 2018
The integration of sensorimotor information is important for accurate goal-directed movement and affects corticospinal excitability (CE). This study investigated CE during the motor preparation period in a goal-directed movement task with temporal feedback gaps.

Corticospinal Excitability Modulation to Hand Muscles During Movement Imagery [PDF]

Cerebral Cortex, 1999
Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to magnetic transcranial stimulation (TCS) were recorded from right abductor digiti minimi (ADM) and first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscles, sharing the same peripheral innervation but engaged in two different motor demands.

The endocannabinoid system regulates both ependymoglial and neuronal cell responses to a tail amputation in the axolotl

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The endocannabinoid system is a neuromodulatory system implicated in cellular processes during both development and regeneration. The Mexican axolotl, one of only a few vertebrates capable of central nervous system regeneration, was used to examine the role of the endocannabinoid system in the regeneration of the tail and spinal ...

The Cerebellar Cognitive‐Affective Syndrome Scale Reveals Consistent, Early, and Progressive Neuropsychological Deficits in Autosomal‐Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay: A Large International Cross‐Sectional Study

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neuropsychological deficits have been observed in patients with cerebellar damage, but never thoroughly investigated in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay (ARSACS). Objectives The goal is the characterization of presence, severity, and profile of neuropsychological deficits in ARSACS using the cerebellar ...

The effects of expectancy on corticospinal excitability: passively preparing to observe a movement [PDF]

, 2014
[Abstract] The corticospinal tract excitability is modulated when preparing movements. Earlier to movement execution, the excitability of the spinal cord increases waiting for supraspinal commands to release the movement.

Abnormal Corticospinal Excitability in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness [PDF]

Brain Stimulation, 2013
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been frequently used to explore changes in the human motor cortex in different conditions, while the extent of motor cortex reorganization in patients in vegetative state (VS) (now known as unresponsive wakefulness syndrome, UWS) and minimally conscious (MCS) states due to severe brain damage remains largely ...

Non‐Invasive Brain Stimulation in Chronic Pain: Current Evidence, Network Perspectives and Paths to Personalization

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
Chronic pain reflects maladaptive network interactions across sensory, salience/affective, and descending modulatory pathways. We review evidence for non‐invasive brain stimulation—rTMS, tES, and low‐intensity focused ultrasound—highlighting modest, variable, and often short‐lived analgesic effects under conventional protocols.

The effect of electrical stimulation on corticospinal excitability is dependent on application duration: a same subject pre-post test design [PDF]

, 2013
Background: In humans, corticospinal excitability is known to increase following motor electrical stimulation (ES) designed to mimic a voluntary contraction.

Effects of Short-Term Dexamethasone Administration on Corticospinal Excitability [PDF]

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2014
The short-term administration of glucocorticoids increases maximal voluntary force in healthy humans, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The present study investigated the glucocorticoid effects on spinal and corticospinal pathways and on electromechanical properties of the tibialis anterior muscle in response to nerve stimulation ...

Electrical Stimulation of Denervated Muscle: A Narrative Review

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This review explores existing strategies for stimulating denervated muscle following lower motor neuron injury, including direct electrical stimulation of the muscle and artificial reinnervation to enable more comfortable and efficient indirect functional muscle stimulation.
