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 ...

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.

The cerebellum and motor dysfunction in neuropsychiatric disorders [PDF]

, 2007
The cerebellum is densely interconnected with sensory-motor areas of the cerebral cortex, and in man, the great expansion of the association areas of cerebral cortex is also paralleled by an expansion of the lateral cerebellar hemispheres.

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 ...

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 ...

Cerebellar rTMS and PAS effectively induce cerebellar plasticity

Scientific Reports, 2021
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS), paired associative stimulation (PAS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been applied

Inhibition of the primary motor cortex and the upgoing thumb sign

eNeurologicalSci, 2017
Background: The upgoing thumb sign has been frequently observed in patients with minor strokes and transient ischemic attacks as an indicator of brain involvement.

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.

Dual-hemisphere tDCS facilitates greater improvements for healthy subjects' non-dominant hand compared to uni-hemisphere stimulation

BMC Neuroscience, 2008
Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique that has been found to modulate the excitability of neurons in the brain.
