A modular architecture for trial-by-trial learning of redundant muscle activity patterns in novel sensorimotor tasks. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyThe coordination of the multiple degrees-of-freedom of the human body may be simplified by muscle synergies, motor modules which can be flexibly combined to achieve various goals.

Motor processing modulates word comprehension
British Journal of Psychology, 2021 We evaluated whether movement modulates the semantic processing of words. To this end, we used homograph words with two meanings, one associated with hand movements (e.g., ‘abanico’, ‘fan’ in Spanish) or foot movements (‘bota’, ‘boot’ in Spanish), and the other not associated with movement (‘abanico’, ‘range’ in Spanish; ‘bota’, ‘wineskin’ in Spanish).

Endocannabinoid Modulation of Dopaminergic Motor Circuits [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 There is substantial evidence supporting a role for the endocannabinoid system as a modulator of the dopaminergic activity in the basal ganglia, a forebrain system that integrates cortical information to coordinate motor activity regulating signals.

Motor modulation of afferent somatosensory circuits [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2008 A prominent feature of thalamocortical circuitry in sensory systems is the extensive and highly organized feedback projection from the cortex to the thalamic neurons that provide stimulus-specific input to the cortex. In lightly sedated rats, we found that focal enhancement of motor cortex activity facilitated sensory-evoked responses of ...

Monoaminergic Modulation of Motor Cortex Function [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017 Elaboration of appropriate responses to behavioral situations rests on the ability of selecting appropriate motor outcomes in accordance to specific environmental inputs. To this end, the primary motor cortex (M1) is a key structure for the control of voluntary movements and motor skills learning.
