Age‐Related Differences in Corticospinal Function and Muscle Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
Changes in nervous system with age are responsible for reduced muscle force‐generating capacity (i.e., MVC). This meta‐analysis reveals that older adults exhibited lower resting corticospinal excitability and ICF, coupled with prolonged CSP and lower MVC, compared to younger adults.

Embodied Responses to Harmony and (Poly)Rhythm: An Integrated Ratio‐Based Perception‐Action Framework

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1562, Issue 1, August 2026.
Harmony and rhythm perception are often studied separately, yet both reveal a shared sensitivity to low‐order integer ratios. In harmony, intervals like the octave (2:1) and fifth (3:2) predict consonance and ease of encoding. In rhythm, patterns with simple ratios (e.g., 2:1, 3:2) are easier to perceive, reproduce, and remember.

Three‐Day Bi‐Hemispheric tDCS With Motor Training Shows No Improvement in Pianist's With Musician's Dystonia: A Pilot Study

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1562, Issue 1, August 2026.
Bi‐hemispheric transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) paired with bimanual mirror‐movement training may transiently improve fine motor control in pianists affected with focal hand dystonia in musicians, which is a task‐specific movement disorder.

Very low‐amplitude muscle activity increases probability of motor evoked potentials in healthy individuals and in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3492-3501, 1 August 2026.
Abstract Muscle contraction increases motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude, decreasing motor threshold (MT). Correspondingly, trials where baseline EMG amplitude exceeds a specified threshold are often rejected. We aimed to investigate the influence of motor activity below such a threshold of MEP amplitude.

Effects of baclofen and lorazepam on interhemispheric inhibition in humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3818-3827, 1 August 2026.
Abstract Transcallosal projections within the corpus callosum allow for the transfer of information between bilateral primary motor cortices (M1). Interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) is one approach to probe transcallosal communication using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) whereby the motor evoked potential (MEP) elicited by TMS is reduced in ...

Improved subjective sleep quality in older adults by enhancing the GABAergic system in the sensorimotor cortex

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 15, Page 6506-6546, 1 August 2026.
Abstract figure legend Sleep disturbances are common in older adults, highlighting the need for accessible interventions to improve sleep quality. Eighteen older adults per group (balance training and control) were assessed before and after 12 weeks. The balance group increased GABA levels (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and functional connectivity ...
