Preconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Recent experimental work in animals has emphasized the importance of homeostatic plasticity as a means of stabilizing the properties of neuronal circuits. Here, we report a phenomenon that indicates a homeostatic pattern of cortical plasticity in healthy

Increased motor cortex excitability for concealed visual information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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.

What is the functional relevance of reorganization in primary motor cortex after spinal cord injury?

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2019
Motor output maps within primary motor cortex are widely distributed and modified by motor skill learning and neurological injury. Functions that these maps represent after spinal cord injury remain debatable.

Difference between the Effects of Peripheral Sensory Nerve Electrical Stimulation on the Excitability of the Primary Motor Cortex: Examination of the Combinations of Stimulus Frequency and Duration

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
Peripheral sensory nerve electrical stimulation (PES) excites the primary motor cortex and is expected to improve motor dysfunction post-stroke. However, previous studies have reported a variety of stimulus frequencies and stimulus duration settings, and

Muscle and Movement Representations in the Primary Motor Cortex [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1999
What aspects of movement are represented in the primary motor cortex (M1): relatively low-level parameters like muscle force, or more abstract parameters like handpath? To examine this issue, the activity of neurons in M1 was recorded in a monkey trained to perform a task that dissociates three major variables of wrist movement: muscle activity ...

Regional glucose hypometabolic spread within the primary motor cortex is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease progression: A fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography study

open access: yeseNeurologicalSci, 2017
Objective: Here we investigate the process of neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The relationship between the cortical field spreading of glucose metabolic decreases in the primary motor cortex (PMC) and the progression of ...

Motor Cortex Stimulation for pain relief : do corollary discharges play a role? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Both invasive and non-invasive motor cortex stimulation techniques have been successfully employed in the treatment of chronic pain, but the precise mechanism of action of such treatments is not fully understood.

Effects of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation on expression of growth-associated genes by corticospinal neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: Inflammation around cell bodies of primary sensory neurons and retinal ganglion cells enhances expression of neuronal growth-associated genes and stimulates axonal regeneration.

Primary Motor Cortex Involvement in Alzheimer Disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 1999
In Alzheimer disease (AD) the involvement of entorhinal cortex, hippocampus, and associative cortical areas is well established. Regarding the involvement of the primary motor cortex the reported data are contradictory. In order to determine whether the primary motor cortex is involved in AD, the brains of 29 autopsy cases were studied, including, 17 ...

How transcranial direct current stimulation can modulate implicit motor sequence learning and consolidation: A brief review

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
The purpose of this review is to investigate how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate implicit motor sequence learning and consolidation.
