stimulation - PMC Back to Top Skip to main content NIH NLM Logo Access keys NCBI …

Emerging evidence indicates impairments in somatosensory function may be a major
contributor to motor dysfunction associated with neurologic injury or disorders. However, the …

As a traditional medical therapy, stimulation at the Lianquan (CV23) acupoint, located at the
depression superior to the hyoid bone, has been shown to be beneficial in dysphagia …

Weak transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) induces persisting excitability changes in
the human motor cortex. These plastic excitability changes are selectively controlled by the …

Current models of motor cortical plasticity, developed in studies on experimental animals,
emphasize the importance of the conjoint activity of somatosensory afferents and intrinsic …

Swallowing is a complex motor event that is difficult to investigate in man by
neurophysiological experiments. For this reason, the characteristics of the brain stem …

In the last decade, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used increasingly as a
tool to explore the mechanisms and consequences of cortical plasticity in the intact human …
