Training of specific muscles causes plastic changes in corticomotor pathways which may
underlie the effect of various clinical rehabilitation procedures. The paired pulse transcranial …

Paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (ppTMS) can be used to assess short-interval
intracortical inhibitory (SICI) and facilitatory (ICF) networks. Many methodological …

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 …

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 …

Since humans in daily life perform multiple motor behaviors that often involve the
simultaneous activation of both jaw and tongue muscles, it is essential to understand the …

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
on neuroplasticity in corticomotor pathways related to tongue muscles evoked by a training …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has demonstrated changes in motor evoked
potentials (MEPs) in human limb muscles following modulation of sensory afferent inputs …

How the human brain controls activation of the ipsilateral part of midline muscles is
unknown. We studied corticospinal and corticocortical network excitability of both ipsilateral …

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 …

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 …
