Neural circuits underlying motor facilitation during observation of implied motion.
In the present study we used single and paired-pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to evaluate the effect of implied motion on primary motor cortex microcircuits. We found that observation of the implied motion of a static image increases MEP amplitude and reduces short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), without significant modulation of intracortical facilitation and sensory-m...
متن کاملLaminarly orthogonal excitation of fast-spiking and low-threshold-spiking interneurons in mouse motor cortex.
In motor cortex, long-range output to subcortical motor circuits depends on excitatory and inhibitory inputs converging on projection neurons in layers 5A/B. How interneurons interconnect with these projection neurons, and whether these microcircuits are interneuron and/or projection specific, is unclear. We found that fast-spiking interneurons received strong intralaminar (horizontal) excitati...
متن کاملCircuits for Grasping: Spinal dI3 Interneurons Mediate Cutaneous Control of Motor Behavior
Accurate motor performance depends on the integration in spinal microcircuits of sensory feedback information. Hand grasp is a skilled motor behavior known to require cutaneous sensory feedback, but spinal microcircuits that process and relay this feedback to the motor system have not been defined. We sought to define classes of spinal interneurons involved in the cutaneous control of hand gras...

متن کاملThe contribution of transcranial magnetic stimulation in the functional evaluation of microcircuits in human motor cortex
Although transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) activates a number of different neuron types in the cortex, the final output elicited in corticospinal neurones is surprisingly stereotyped. A single TMS pulse evokes a series of descending corticospinal volleys that are separated from each other by about 1.5 ms (i.e., ~670 Hz). This evoked descending corticospinal activity can be directly record...
متن کاملOn the role of feedback in enhancing the computational power of generic neural microcircuits
Circuits of neurons in the brain perform diverse cortical computations in parallel, endowing the organism with diverse cortical modalities, e.g. motor control, vision, and audition; and higher order cognitive processes, e.g. planning, and decision making. It is believed that these computations are carried out by network of neurons in cortical microcircuits, where each microcircuit is composed o...
