Motor Cortex Microcircuits [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 The goal of this Research Topic was to bring together articles representing the spectrum of current research aimed at understanding the functional organization motor cortex at the level of microcircuits. The original research articles in this collection address a wide range of aspects of motor cortex microcircuits.

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.

Mapping of the Motor Cortex [PDF]
Cureus, 2020 The resection of brain tumors located within or near the eloquent tissue has a higher risk of postoperative neurological deficits. The primary concerns include loss of sensory and motor functions in the contralateral face, upper and lower extremities, as well as speech deficits.

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 ...

Optogenetic Neuronal Stimulation Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Although spinal cord injury (SCI) is the main cause of disability worldwide, there is still no definite and effective treatment method for this condition.

Sensing with the Motor Cortex [PDF]
Neuron, 2011 The primary motor cortex is a critical node in the network of brain regions responsible for voluntary motor behavior. It has been less appreciated, however, that the motor cortex exhibits sensory responses in a variety of modalities including vision and somatosensation.

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.
