Interlimb neural interactions in the corticospinal pathways

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014
Corticospinal excitability is known to be modulated during voluntary muscle contraction of distal limbs. Although a large number of studies have demonstrated the variety of modulations in corticospinal excitability during distal limb movement, those ...

Corticospinal Excitability Is Modulated as a Function of Postural Perturbation Predictability

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Recent studies demonstrated that the corticospinal pathway is one of the key nodes for the feedback control of human standing and that the excitability is flexibly changed according to the current state of posture.

Locomotor adaptation: Significance and underlying neural mechanisms

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2015
Human locomotion is flexible in meeting the requirements of given environmental or task demands. Hence, in everyday life, we can walk, run, and skip in environmental surroundings that vary from hour to hour and even from second to second.
