Mapping the cortical representation of the lumbar paravertebral muscles [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to map the cortical representation of the lumbar spine paravertebral (LP) muscles in healthy subjects. Methods: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was employed to map the cortical representations of the LP ...

Excitability of the motor cortex in patients with migraine changes with the time elapsed from the last attack [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) produced by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex can be an objective measure of cortical excitability.

Corticospinal excitability after 5-day Dry Immersion in women
In light of the development of manned astronautics and the increasing participation of women in space flights, the question of female body adaptation to microgravity conditions becomes relevant. Currently, one of the important directions in this issue is

Monitoring cortical excitability during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with ADHD: a single-blind, sham-controlled TMS-EEG study [PDF]
Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows non-invasive stimulation of the human brain. However, no suitable marker has yet been established to monitor the immediate rTMS effects on cortical areas in children.

Magnetic Motor Evoked Potentials in Ponies [PDF]
Magnetic stimulation of motor pathways was used to effect motor unit action potential recordings from forelimb and hindlimb muscles in unanesthetized ponies. Motor pathway conduction velocities to the forelimb and hindlimb were determined to be 53.8 ± 9.6 m/s‐1and 63.4 ± 8.3 m/s‐1, respectively.

Modern Views on the Role of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Brain Tumour Surgery
The article defines the role of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) in neurosurgery, provides a brief historical background, as well as describes the main methods of IONM — somatosensory and motor evoked potentials.

Laser-Evoked Vertex Potentials Predict Defensive Motor Actions [PDF]
The vertex potential is the largest response that can be recorded in the electroencephalogram of an awake, healthy human. It is elicited by sudden and intense stimuli, and is composed by a negative-positive deflection.

Increased motor cortex excitability for concealed visual information [PDF]
Deceptive behaviour involves complex neural processes involving the primary motor cortex. The dynamics of this motor cortex excitability prior to lying are still not well understood.

Mutual interaction between motor cortex activation and pain in fibromyalgia: EEG-fNIRS study.
BackgroundExperimental and clinical studies suggested an analgesic effect on chronic pain by motor cortex activation. The present study explored the complex mechanisms of interaction between motor and pain during performing the slow and fast finger ...
