This study investigated the effect of repeated tongue lift training (TLT) on the excitability of
the corticomotor representation of the human tongue and jaw musculature. Sixteen …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to assess characteristics of the
corticomotor control of the jaw muscles, but less is known about the cortical control of the …

Corticomotor control of the human tongue has been reported to undergo neuroplastic
changes following several days of training in a tongue-protrusion task. The aims of the …

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different training types and
secondary to test gender differences on the training-related cortical plasticity induced by …

Corticomotor pathways may undergo neuroplastic changes in response to acquisition of
new motor skills. Little is known about the motor control strategies for learning new tongue …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this experimental study was to investigate if perturbation of
somatosensory function would change corticomotor excitability of the tongue musculature in …

To determine if short-term (15 min) training in a novel tongue-task is associated with rapid
neuroplasticity of the tongue primary motor area (MI) in the human cerebral cortex, and if …

Motivation plays an important role in the outcome of motor learning but has not received
attention in tongue‐training‐induced plasticity of the corticomotor pathways. The present …

Given the evidence that the primary motor cortex (MI) consists of subpopulations of upper
motor neurons tuned to different directional parameters of a motor movement, this study …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to assess corticomotor control of
jaw muscles, but few studies have examined cortical plasticity of the masticatory system and …
