A Cholinergic Synaptically Triggered Event Participates in the Generation of Persistent Activity Necessary for Eye Fixation [PDF]
, 2004 An exciting topic regarding integrative properties of the nervous system is how transient motor commands or brief sensory stimuli are able to evoke persistent neuronal changes, mainly as a sustained, tonic action potential firing.

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring
Türk Nöroloji Dergisi, 2016 The principal aim of “intraoperative neuromonitoring” (IN) is to prevent potential neurologic deficits that may be caused by the surgical process, which is very appropriate to the principal rule of medicine “primum non nocere.” Monitoring neurologic ...

Comparison of transcranial electric motor and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during cervical spine surgery. [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: There has been little enthusiasm for somatosensory evoked potential monitoring in cervical spine surgery as a result, in part, of the increased risk of motor tract injury at this level, to which somatosensory monitoring may be insensitive ...

Myogenic transcranial motor evoked potentials monitoring cannot always predict neurologic outcome after spinal cord ischemia in rats [PDF]
, 2004 ObjectivesA day after undergoing an operation of the thoracic aorta, a patient showed signs of spastic paraplegia, but on myogenic transcranial motor evoked potential monitoring, the myogenic transcranial motor evoked potentials recorded from the left ...

Task‐specific strength increases after lower‐limb compound resistance training occurred in the absence of corticospinal changes in vastus lateralis [PDF]
, 2020 Neural adaptations subserving strength increases have been shown to be task‐specific, but responses and adaptation to lower‐limb compound exercises such as the squat are commonly assessed in a single‐limb isometric task.

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 ...
