DOI: 10.1007/s00421-017-3652-7
Abstract: PurposeThis study examined whether spinal excitability, as measured by the soleus Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex), is scaled to the difficulty level of the dual-task being performed.MethodsTwenty-two participants completed a combination of three balance task and three… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10072-019-03765-y
Abstract: ObjectiveRepetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) has been used to treat post-stroke upper limb spasticity (ULS) in addition to physiotherapy (PT). To determine whether rTMS associated with PT modulates cortical and spinal cord excitability as well… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00383.2022
Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) is known to induce substantial activation of brain's motor regions. It remains unclear to what extent virtual reality can trigger the sensorimotor system, and more particularly, whether it can affect lower nervous… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4255421
Abstract: Cold exposure can impair fine and gross motor control and threaten survival. Most motor task decrement is due to peripheral neuromuscular factors. Less is known about cooling on central neural factors. Corticospinal and spinal excitability… read more here.

Cerebellar TMS Induces Motor Responses Mediating Modulation of Spinal Excitability: A Literature Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Brain Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13040531
Abstract: Since individuals with cerebellar lesions often exhibit hypotonia, the cerebellum may contribute to the regulation of muscle tone and spinal motoneuron pool excitability. Neurophysiological methods using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cerebellum have been… read more here.
