Motor cortex excitability in focal epilepsies not including the primary motor area--a TMS study.
It is unclear whether focal epilepsies chronically influence the processing of cortex distant to the epileptogenic zone. Therefore, motor cortex excitability was analysed in patients with temporal and extratemporal epilepsies whose epileptogenic zones did not include the primary motor area. Single and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied to the primary motor cortex i...
متن کاملMusical groove modulates motor cortex excitability: a TMS investigation.
Groove is often described as a musical quality that can induce movement in a listener. This study examines the effects of listening to groove music on corticospinal excitability. Musicians and non-musicians listened to high-groove music, low-groove music, and spectrally matched noise, while receiving single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the primary motor cortex either on-be...
متن کاملContribution of the primary motor cortex to motor imagery: a subthreshold TMS study.
Motor imagery (MI) mostly activates the same brain regions as movement execution (ME) including the primary motor cortex (Brodmann area 4, BA4). However, whether BA4 is functionally relevant for MI remains controversial. The finding that MI tasks are impaired by BA4 virtual lesions induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) supports this view, though previous studies do not permit to ex...
متن کاملLateralization of Motor Cortex Excitability in Stroke Patients during Action Observation: A TMS Study
Action observation activates the same motor areas as those involved in the performance of the observed actions and promotes functional recovery following stroke. Movement observation is now considered a promising tool for motor rehabilitation, by allowing patients to train their motor functions when voluntary movement is partially impaired. We asked chronic-stroke patients, affected by either l...
متن کاملEvolution of Premotor Cortical Excitability after Cathodal Inhibition of the Primary Motor Cortex: A Sham-Controlled Serial Navigated TMS Study
BACKGROUND Premotor cortical regions (PMC) play an important role in the orchestration of motor function, yet their role in compensatory mechanisms in a disturbed motor system is largely unclear. Previous studies are consistent in describing pronounced anatomical and functional connectivity between the PMC and the primary motor cortex (M1). Lesion studies consistently show compensatory adaptive...
