OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) on the
modulation of cortical desynchronization (ERD) during isometric contractions at different …

Electroencephalographic (EEG) studies have well established that motor cortex (M1)
activity~ 20 Hz decreases during muscular contraction and increases as soon as contraction …

After spinal cord injury (SCI), the reorganization of the neuromuscular system leads to
increased antagonist muscles' co‐activation—that is, increased antagonist vs. agonist …

Objective After spinal cord injury (SCI), the antagonist muscles activation is increased during
voluntary contractions and reflex conditioning protocols. This increase can be the result of …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) does not only produce a lack of sensory and motor function caudal
to the level of injury, but it also leads to a progressive brain reorganization. Chronic SCI …

Mirror contractions refer to unintended contractions of the contralateral homologous muscles
during voluntary unilateral contractions or movements. Exaggerated mirror contractions …

After paralysis, the disconnection between the cortex and its peripheral targets leads to
neuroplasticity throughout the nervous system. However, it is unclear how chronic paralysis …

Key points In uninjured humans, transmission in the corticospinal pathway changes in a task‐
dependent manner during movement preparation. We investigated whether this ability is …

The corticospinal tract (CST) is a major descending pathway contributing to the control of
voluntary movement in mammals. During the last decades anatomical and …

Functional imaging studies, using blood oxygen level‐dependent signals, have
demonstrated cortical reorganization of forearm muscle maps towards the denervated leg …
