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.

Motor Cortex Stimulation [PDF]
Seminars in Neurosurgery, 2001 In 1991 Tsubokawa and colleagues first published their landmark results from a series in which epidural motor cortex stimulation (MCS) was used in the treatment of eight patients with central and neuropathic pain. In ensuing studies authors have elaborated on the indications, technique, hypotheical mechanisms, and beneficial results of this treatment ...

Visual feedback alters force control and functional activity in the visuomotor network after stroke. [PDF]
, 2018 Modulating visual feedback may be a viable option to improve motor function after stroke, but the neurophysiological basis for this improvement is not clear.

Apraxia and motor dysfunction in corticobasal syndrome [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is characterized by multifaceted motor system dysfunction and cognitive disturbance; distinctive clinical features include limb apraxia and visuospatial dysfunction. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been

Preconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex [PDF]
, 2004 Recent experimental work in animals has emphasized the importance of homeostatic plasticity as a means of stabilizing the properties of neuronal circuits. Here, we report a phenomenon that indicates a homeostatic pattern of cortical plasticity in healthy

Pain-motor integration in the primary motor cortex in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
, 2017 In Parkinson's disease (PD), the influence of chronic pain on motor features has never been investigated. We have recently designed a technique that combines nociceptive system activation by laser stimuli and primary motor cortex (M1) activation through ...

Cerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex [PDF]
, 2012 The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with ...

Human Posterior Parietal Cortex Plans Where to Reach and What to Avoid [PDF]
, 2010 In this time-resolved functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we aimed to trace the neuronal correlates of covert planning processes that precede visually guided motor behavior.
