Variables associated with cortical motor mapping thresholds: A retrospective data review with a unique case of interlimb motor facilitation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 IntroductionIntraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is crucial to preserve eloquent neurological functions during brain tumor resections. We observed a rare interlimb cortical motor facilitation phenomenon in a patient with recurrent high-grade glioma ...

Active versus resting neuro‐navigated robotic transcranial magnetic stimulation motor mapping [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 2022 Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) motor mapping is a safe, non‐invasive method that can be used to study corticomotor organization. Motor maps are typically acquired at rest, and comparisons to maps obtained during muscle activation have been both ...

TMS Motor Mapping Methodology and Reliability: A Structured Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Motor cortical representation can be probed non-invasively using a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technique known as motor mapping. The mapping technique can influence features of the maps because of several controllable elements. Here we review

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Motor Mapping Usefulness in the Surgical Management of Patients Affected by Brain Tumors in Eloquent Areas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Background: The surgical strategy for brain glioma has changed, shifting from tumor debulking to a more careful tumor dissection with the aim of a gross-total resection, extended beyond the contrast-enhancement MRI, including the hyperintensity on FLAIR ...

Longitudinal Optogenetic Motor Mapping Revealed Structural and Functional Impairments and Enhanced Corticorubral Projection after Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in Mice. [PDF]
J Neurotrauma, 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

Concurrent optogenetic motor mapping of multiple limbs in awake mice reveals cortical organization of coordinated movements [PDF]
Brain StimulationBackground: Motor mapping allows for determining the macroscopic organization of motor circuits and corresponding motor movement representations on the cortex. Techniques such as intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) are robust, but can be time consuming
