The Role of Primary Motor Cortex: More Than Movement Execution
Journal of Motor Behavior, 2020 The predominant role of the primary motor cortex (M1) in motor execution is well acknowledged. However, additional roles of M1 are getting evident in humans owing to advances in noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques.

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Encoding of Intention and Spatial Location in the Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
, 1995 The posterior parietal cortex is functionally situated between sensory cortex and motor cortex. The responses of cells in this area are difficult to classify as strictly sensory or motor, since many have both sensory- and movement-related activities, as ...

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.

Attention-dependent modulation of neural activity in primary sensorimotor cortex [PDF]
, 2013 Although motor tasks at most times do not require much attention, there are findings that attention can alter neuronal activity not only in higher motor areas but also within the primary sensorimotor cortex.
