Modulation of motor cortex inhibition during motor imagery
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2017 Motor imagery (MI) is similar to overt movement, engaging common neural substrates and facilitating the corticomotor pathway; however, it does not result in excitatory descending motor output. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to assess inhibitory networks in the primary motor cortex via measures of 1-ms short-interval intracortical ...

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).

Motor resonance is modulated by an object's weight distribution [PDF]
Neuropsychologia, 2020 Abstract Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies showed that corticospinal excitability (CSE) is modulated during observation of object lifting, an effect termed ‘motor resonance’. Specifically, motor resonance is driven by movement features indicating object weight, such as object size or observed movement kinematics.

Detecting task-relevant spatiotemporal modules and their relation to motor adaptation.
PLoS ONE, 2022 How does the central nervous system (CNS) control our bodies, including hundreds of degrees of freedom (DoFs)? A hypothesis to reduce the number of DoFs posits that the CNS controls groups of joints or muscles (i.e., modules) rather than each joint or ...

, 2011 In this paper, we give some characterizations of FP-grinjective R-modules and graded right R-modules of FP-gr-injective dimension at most n. We study the existence of FP-gr-injective envelopes and FP-gr-injective covers.

LINKAGE AND DUALITY OF MODULES [PDF]
, 2009 Martsinkovsky and Strooker [13] recently introduced module theoretic linkage using syzygy and transpose. This generalization brings possibility of much application of linkage, especially, to homological theory of modules. In the present paper, we connect

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.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Locomotion can be investigated by factorization of electromyographic (EMG) signals, e.g. with non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). This approach is a convenient concise representation of muscle activities as distributed in motor modules, activated in

Between-subject variability of muscle synergies during a complex motor skill
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2012 The purpose of the present study was to determine whether subjects who have learned a complex motor skill exhibit similar neuromuscular control strategies. We studied a population of experienced gymnasts during backward giant swings on the high bar. This

Experimental Muscle Pain Impairs the Synergistic Modular Control of Neck Muscles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A motor task can be performed via different patterns of muscle activation that show regularities that can be factorized in combinations of a reduced number of muscle groupings (also referred to as motor modules, or muscle synergies).
