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 ...

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.

The topology of connections between rat prefrontal, motor and sensory cortices
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.

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 ...

Somatosensory cortex participates in the consolidation of human motor memory.
PLoS Biology, 2019 Newly learned motor skills are initially labile and then consolidated to permit retention. The circuits that enable the consolidation of motor memories remain uncertain.
