Mechanisms of Hebbian-like plasticity in the ventral premotor - primary motor network

Andrea Casarotto et al.

Summary: By investigating the effects of cc-PAS on the PMv-M1 circuit, we found that cc-PAS induces long-term potentiation or long-term depression in M1 neuronal activity, which is associated with specific changes in I-2-wave activity. Furthermore, cc-PAS has a specific modulation effect on the LICI circuit and separately modulates PMv-M1 connectivity. These findings provide important insights into how PMv modulates M1 activity and are relevant for the design of brain stimulation protocols.

Increasing interhemispheric connectivity between human visual motion areas uncovers asymmetric sensitivity to horizontal motion

Emilio Chiappini et al.

Summary: Our conscious perceptual experience relies on a hierarchical process involving integration of low-level sensory encoding and higher-order sensory selection. In this study, we investigated the perception of visual motion stimuli and found that enhancing the connectivity between the left and right visual motion complexes increased sensitivity to horizontal motion. This asymmetric modulation was accompanied by a perceptual bias in the direction of the horizontal motion.

Gradual enhancement of corticomotor excitability during cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation

Sonia Turrini et al.

Summary: Cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) is an effective method for inducing associative plasticity in the brain. This study investigated the physiological changes during ccPAS administration and found both facilitatory and inhibitory effects. Monitoring motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) online could provide insights into the effectiveness of the protocol.

Simone Rossi et al.

Summary: This article is based on a consensus conference held in Siena, Italy in October 2018, aiming to update safety guidelines for the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). New emerging issues discussed include safety concerns with recently developed stimulation devices, novel scenarios of TMS applications, and ethical considerations regarding neuroenhancement.

Neurophysiological modulations in the (pre)motor-motor network underlying age-related increases in reaction time and the role of GABA levels - a bimodal TMS-MRS study

Stefanie Verstraelen et al.

Summary: This study found that older adults exhibited reduced bilateral CSE suppression and decreased magnitude of M1-M1 and PMd-M1 disinhibition during the preparatory period compared to younger adults. In older adults, GABA + levels in bilateral SMC partially accounted for task-related neurophysiological modulations and individual differences in reaction time.

Reduced SMA-M1 connectivity in older than younger adults measured using dual-site TMS

Brittany K. Rurak et al.

Summary: With advancing age, there is a decline in voluntary movement control, possibly due to reduced effective connectivity between the supplementary motor area and primary motor cortex. Older adults show lower SMA-M1 connectivity but better connectivity is associated with better bimanual motor control in this age group.
