Source Detection and Functional Connectivity of the Sensorimotor Cortex during Actual and Imaginary Limb Movement: A Preliminary Study on the Implementation of eConnectome in Motor Imagery Protocols

open access: yesAdvances in Human-Computer Interaction, 2012
Introduction. Sensorimotor cortex is activated similarly during motor execution and motor imagery. The study of functional connectivity networks (FCNs) aims at successfully modeling the dynamics of information flow between cortical areas.

Dynamic alterations in cortical activation during motor adaptation in table tennis using whole‑brain fNIRS

open access: yesScientific Reports
Human movements must constantly be adapted due to changing internal and external conditions in our environment. The underlying neuronal mechanisms that are responsible for motor adaptations have so far mainly been investigated in highly controlled ...

Voluntary Activation and Variability During Maximal Dynamic Contractions with Aging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Whether reduced supraspinal activation contributes to age-related reductions in maximal torque during dynamic contractions is not known. The purpose was to determine whether there are age differences in voluntary activation and its variability when ...

Trains of Epidural DC Stimulation of the Cerebellum Tune Corticomotor Excitability

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2013
We assessed the effects of anodal/cathodal direct current stimulation (DCS) applied epidurally over the cerebellum. We studied the excitability of both the motor cortex and the anterior horn of the spinal cord in adult rats under continuous anesthesia ...

Columnar organization in the motor cortex [PDF]

open access: yesCortex, 2010
Despite many attempts to find spatial structure in the functional properties of neurons within the primary motor cortex (MI), there is still no compelling evidence for such structure despite the anatomical similarities between motor cortex and other neocortical areas.

Embodiment, Cognition and the World Wide Web

open access: yes, 2014
Cognitive embodiment refers to the hypothesis that cognitive processes of all kinds are rooted in perception and action. Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience revealed that the motor cortex, long confined to the mere role of action programming and ...

Motor versus Psychomotor? Deciphering the Neural Source of Psychomotor Retardation in Depression

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by psychomotor retardation whose underlying neural source remains unclear. Psychomotor retardation may either be related to a motor source like the motor cortex or, alternatively, to a psychomotor source ...

The Prefrontal Cortex Achieves Inhibitory Control by Facilitating Subcortical Motor Pathway Connectivity

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2015
Communication between the prefrontal cortex and subcortical nuclei underpins the control and inhibition of behavior. However, the interactions in such pathways remain controversial. Using a stop-signal response inhibition task and functional imaging with

The Neural Basis of Age-Related Changes in Motor Imagery of Gait: An fMRI Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background. Aging is often associated with modifications of gait. Recent studies have revealed a strong relationship between gait and executive functions in healthy and pathological aging.
