Enhanced Primary Motor Cortex Astrocyte Calcium Signaling With Motor Learning [PDF]
Neural PlasticityAstrocytes form an integral part of the nervous system and are proposed to modulate neuronal circuits and behavior. The motor cortex plays a key role in the planning and execution of voluntary movements and makes key contributions to motor skill learning.

Illusory sensation of movement induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Human movement sense relies on both somatosensory feedback and on knowledge of the motor commands used to produce the movement. We have induced a movement illusion using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over primary motor cortex and dorsal ...

A longitudinal study of hand motor recovery after sub-acute stroke: a study combined FMRI with diffusion tensor imaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Previous studies have shown that motor recovery of stroke can be assessed by the cortical activity and the structural integrity of the corticospinal tract (CST), but little is known about the relation between the cortical activity and the structural ...

Task-free functional MRI in cervical dystonia reveals multi-network changes that partially normalize with botulinum toxin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cervical dystonia is characterized by involuntary, abnormal movements and postures of the head and neck. Current views on its pathophysiology, such as faulty sensorimotor integration and impaired motor planning, are largely based on studies of focal hand

Segmental reorganization of the leg primary motor area
Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2020 Reorganization of eloquent cortex due to neighboring stressors, like tumors and epilepsy, has been previously documented. Here we report reorganization of a subregion of the primary motor cortex due to a slow-growing primary brain tumor.
