The topology of connections between rat prefrontal, motor and sensory cortices [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 The connections of prefrontal cortex (PFC) were investigated in the rat brain to determine the order and location of input and output connections to motor and somatosensory cortex.

Neuronal Plasticity and Age-Related Functional Decline in the Motor Cortex
Cells, 2023 Physiological aging causes a decline of motor function due to impairment of motor cortex function, losses of motor neurons and neuromuscular junctions, sarcopenia, and frailty.

Illusory sensation of movement induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Human movement sense relies on both somatosensory feedback and on knowledge of the motor commands used to produce the movement. We have induced a movement illusion using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over primary motor cortex and dorsal ...

Iron overload in the motor cortex induces neuronal ferroptosis following spinal cord injury
Redox Biology, 2021 Motor neuron death is supposed to result in primary motor cortex atrophy after spinal cord injury (SCI), which is relevant to poorer motor recovery for patients with SCI. However, the exact mechanisms of motor neuron death remain elusive.

Altered Rolandic gamma-band activation associated with motor impairment and ictal network desynchronization in childhood epilepsy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Epilepsy is associated with an abnormal expression of neural oscillations and their synchronization across brain regions. Oscillatory brain activation and synchronization also play an important role in cognition, perception and motor control.

A Comparison of the Effect of the Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) of Vision and Motor Cortex on Learning of Basketball Free Throw Skill [PDF]
رشد و یادگیری حرکتی ورزشی, 2020 The aim of the current study was to compare the effects of the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of vision and motor cortex on learning of basketball free throw skill. In this semi-experimental study with repeated measure research design, 45

The auditory representation of speech sounds in human motor cortex
eLife, 2016 In humans, listening to speech evokes neural responses in the motor cortex. This has been controversially interpreted as evidence that speech sounds are processed as articulatory gestures.

Dissociation of motor task-induced cortical excitability and pain perception changes in healthy volunteers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 There is evidence that interventions aiming at modulation of the motor cortex activity lead to pain reduction. In order to understand further the role of the motor cortex on pain modulation, we aimed to compare the behavioral (pressure pain threshold ...
