DOI: 10.1007/s00429-021-02451-0
Abstract: Implicit motor learning and memory involve complex cortical and subcortical networks. The induction of plasticity in these network components via non-invasive brain stimulation, including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), has shown to improve motor learning.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ensci.2017.07.001
Abstract: Background The upgoing thumb sign has been frequently observed in patients with minor strokes and transient ischemic attacks as an indicator of brain involvement. We assessed the effect of primary motor cortex (M1) inhibition in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neures.2017.09.008
Abstract: Motor skill training induces long-term potentiation (LTP) and structural plasticity at dendritic spines in the primary motor cortex (M1). However, little is known about the plasticity of individual M1 neurons. Skilled motor coordination in rodents… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.05.003
Abstract: ABSTRACT Observing another person experiencing exogenously inflicted pain (e.g. by a sharp object penetrating a finger) modulates the excitability of the observer’ primary motor cortex (M1). By contrast, far less is known about the response… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.04.016
Abstract: Acute cardiovascular exercise can promote motor memory consolidation following motor practice, and thus long-term retention, but the underlying mechanisms remain sparsely elucidated. Here we test the hypothesis that the positive behavioral effects of acute exercise… read more here.
