Variability and Predictors of Response to Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation: A TMS-EEG Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) is a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation paradigm reported to decrease the excitability of the stimulated cortical area and which is thought to reflect a form of inhibitory synaptic plasticity.

The Immediate and Short-Term Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation on Corticospinal Excitability

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Rehabilitative interventions involving electrical stimulation show promise for neuroplastic recovery in people living with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). However, the understanding of how stimulation interacts with descending and spinal excitability remain ...

Sleep quality influences subsequent motor skill acquisition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
While the influence of sleep on motor memory consolidation has been extensively investigated, its relation to initial skill acquisition is less well understood.

Enhanced Motivational Modulation of Motor Behaviour with Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesParkinson's Disease, 2019
Background. Motivational improvement of movement speed in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is observed in life-threatening situations and has been empirically demonstrated in experimental studies using reaction time paradigms. Objectives.

Response repetition biases in human perceptual decisions are explained by activity decay in competitive attractor models

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Animals and humans have a tendency to repeat recent choices, a phenomenon known as choice hysteresis. The mechanism for this choice bias remains unclear.

Neurobiology of dyslexia : A reinterpretation of the data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Theories of developmental dyslexia differ on how to best interpret the great variety of symptoms (linguistic, sensory, motor) observed in dyslexic individuals. One approach views dyslexia as a specific phonological deficit, which sometimes co-occurs with

Assessment of motor recovery and decline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Assessment of motor disorders forms an important ingredient of neurology, rehabilitation medicine and orthopaedics. Until now, however, many of the employed assessment tools are derived from empirical knowledge.

A Preliminary Investigation of the Running Digit Span As a Test of Working Memory

open access: yesBehavioural Neurology, 2008
The objective of this study was to compare performance on different versions of the running span task, and to examine the relationship between task performance and tests of episodic memory and executive function. We found that the average capacity of the

Possible Functional Moving Toes Syndrome

open access: yesTremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2016
Background: Moving toes syndrome has been classically described as an organic movement disorder, on occasion related to peripheral nerve injuries. The association between nerve trauma and movement disorders has become a controversial topic, and the ...

Exercise enhances motor skill learning by neurotransmitter switching in the adult midbrain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Physical exercise promotes motor skill learning in normal individuals and those with neurological disorders but its mechanism of action is unclear. We find that one week of voluntary wheel running enhances the acquisition of motor skills in normal adult ...
