Large-scale Spatiotemporal Spike Patterning Consistent with Wave Propagation in Motor Cortex [PDF]
, 2015 Aggregate signals in cortex are known to be spatiotemporally organized as propagating waves across the cortical surface, but it remains unclear whether the same is true for spiking activity in individual neurons.

Hand Motor Cortex Excitability During Speaking in Persistent Developmental Stuttering
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 Persistent developmental stuttering (PDS) is a speech fluency disorder characterized by intermittent involuntary breakdowns of speech motor control, possibly related to motor cortex excitability.

Neural population dynamics in human motor cortex during movements in people with ALS
eLife, 2015 The prevailing view of motor cortex holds that motor cortical neural activity represents muscle or movement parameters. However, recent studies in non-human primates have shown that neural activity does not simply represent muscle or movement parameters;

Damage to fronto-parietal networks impairs motor imagery ability after stroke : a voxel-based lesion symptom mapping study [PDF]
, 2016 Background: mental practice with motor imagery has been shown to promote motor skill acquisition in healthy subjects and patients. Although lesions of the common motor imagery and motor execution neural network are expected to impair motor imagery ...

Induction of plasticity in the human motor cortex by pairing an auditory stimulus with TMS
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Acoustic stimuli can cause a transient increase in the excitability of the motor cortex. The current study leverages this phenomenon to develop a method for testing the integrity of auditorimotor integration and the capacity for auditorimotor plasticity.

Motor and emotional behaviours elicited by electrical stimulation of the human cingulate cortex
Brain : a journal of neurology, 2018 The cingulate cortex is a mosaic of different anatomical fields, whose functional characterization is still a matter of debate. In humans, one method that may provide useful insights on the role of the different cingulate regions, and to tackle the issue

Using diffusion tensor imaging to identify corticospinal tract projection patterns in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. [PDF]
, 2017 AIM: To determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be an independent assessment for identifying the corticospinal tract (CST) projecting from the more-affected motor cortex in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD: Twenty

Protein Synthesis Inhibition in the Peri-Infarct Cortex Slows Motor Recovery in Rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Neuroplasticity and reorganization of brain motor networks are thought to enable recovery of motor function after ischemic stroke. Especially in the cortex surrounding the ischemic scar (i.e., peri-infarct cortex), evidence for lasting reorganization has

Subtype-specific plasticity of inhibitory circuits in motor cortex during motor learning
Nature Neuroscience, 2015 Motor skill learning induces long-lasting reorganization of dendritic spines, principal sites of excitatory synapses, in the motor cortex. However, mechanisms that regulate these excitatory synaptic changes remain poorly understood.
