Transcranial ultrasound stimulation of the human motor cortex
iScience, 2021 Summary: It has been 40 years since the report of long-term synaptic plasticity on the rodent brain. Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) shows advantages in spatial resolution and penetration depth when compared with electrical or magnetic ...

Longitudinal Optogenetic Motor Mapping Revealed Structural and Functional Impairments and Enhanced Corticorubral Projection after Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in Mice [PDF]
, 2019 Current evaluation of impairment and repair after spinal cord injury (SCI) is largely dependent on behavioral assessment and histological analysis of injured tissue and pathways. Here, we evaluated whether transcranial optogenetic mapping of motor cortex

Predictive modeling of TMS-evoked responses: Unraveling instantaneous excitability states
NeuroImageTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) provides a unique window into instantaneous cortical and corticospinal excitability states. We investigated 50 healthy participants to determine

Brain Activity Underlying Muscle Relaxation
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Fine motor control of not only muscle contraction but also muscle relaxation is required for appropriate movements in both daily life and sports. Movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and dystonia are often characterized by deficits of muscle ...

The influence of chronic occupational exposure to lead on peripheral nerves conduction
Medycyna PracyBackground The impact of lead on the peripheral nervous system (PNS) remains inadequately explored. Despite the absence of classic lead neuropathy resulting from uncontrolled exposure to high metal doses in workers under biomonitoring, the focus shifts ...

Increased Bilateral Interactions in Middle-Aged Subjects [PDF]
, 2014 A hallmark of the age-related neural reorganization is that old versus young adults execute typical motor tasks by a more diffuse neural activation pattern including stronger ipsilateral activation during unilateral tasks.
