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.

Cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) over premotor-motor areas affects local circuitries in the human motor cortex via Hebbian plasticity

Sonia Turrini et al.

Summary: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have shown that cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) can strengthen connectivity between the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and the primary motor cortex (M1) by modulating convergent input over M1 via Hebbian spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). The authors tested 60 right-handed young healthy humans using dual coil TMS and ccPAS over the left PMv and M1 to probe and manipulate PMv-to-M1 connectivity, and found that ccPAS acts locally over M1 by gradually increasing motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by paired PMv-M1 stimulation. Moreover, ccPAS reduced the magnitude of short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) without affecting intracortical facilitation (ICF), highlighting the physiological basis of ccPAS.

Sonia Turrini et al.

Summary: The effectiveness of ccPAS in enhancing motor functions and connectivity between PMv and M1 was demonstrated in young adults, but the same effect was not observed in elderly individuals.

The multifactorial nature of healthy brain ageing: Brain changes, functional decline and protective factors

Sonia Turrini et al.

Summary: As the global population ages, understanding healthy brain aging is vital for preserving cognitive abilities. This review provides a comprehensive look at anatomical changes in the aging brain, as well as modifiable risk factors for healthy aging. It also examines the cognitive profile of healthy older adults, discussing the decline in four cognitive factors and their neural substrate. Different cognitive trajectories in Alzheimer's Disease and successful agers with high cognitive reserve are explored. Effective interventions and strategies to promote cognitive reserve and delay cognitive decline are reviewed and proposed.

A macroscopic link between interhemispheric tract myelination and cortico-cortical interactions during action reprogramming

Alberto Lazari et al.

Summary: Myelination levels in white matter tracts may influence the cortico-cortical interactions during tasks, and there is a link between the physiology of the motor network and the myelination of tracts connecting its components. Myelination plays a key role in brain function and can affect motor network physiology.

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.

Increasing and decreasing interregional brain coupling increases and decreases oscillatory activity in the human brain

Alejandra Sel et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of manipulating the strength of coupling between the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and primary motor cortex (M1) on oscillatory activity in the motor system. It was found that enhancing cortical connectivity between PMv and M1 increased oscillatory beta and theta rhythms, while decreasing the influence of PMv over M1 decreased these rhythms. This suggests that corticocortical communication frequencies in the PMv-M1 pathway can be manipulated through specific stimulation.
