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 ...

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 ...

Language Abilities of Motor Cortex [PDF]
Neuron, 2004 A new exploration of the cortical network underlying our language abilities by Hauk et al., in this issue of Neuron, shows that the process of giving meaning to words differentially activates the motor cortex according to the semantic category of the word.

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.

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.

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

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 ...
