Plasticity is an intrinsic property of the human brain and represents evolution's invention to
enable the nervous system to escape the restrictions of its own genome and thus adapt to …

The motor system comprises a network of cortical and subcortical areas interacting via
excitatory and inhibitory circuits, thereby governing motor behaviour. The balance within the …

It has been 30 years since the discovery that repeated electrical stimulation of neural
pathways can lead to long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices. With its relevance to …

During the last two decades, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has rapidly become a
valuable method to investigate noninvasively the human brain. In addition, repetitive TMS …

Both resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) and transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) are increasingly popular techniques that can be used to non-invasively …

Noninvasive brain stimulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial
direct current stimulation (tDCS) is valuable in research and has potential therapeutic …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary motor hand area (M1) can
produce lasting polarity‐specific effects on corticospinal excitability and motor learning in …

Noninvasive transcranial stimulation is being increasingly used by clinicians and
neuroscientists to alter deliberately the status of the human brain. Important applications are …

Background and purpose. Within the concept of interhemispheric competition, technical
modulation of the excitability of motor areas in the contralesional and ipsilesional …

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has in recent years been used to
explore therapeutic opportunities in a bewildering variety of conditions. Although there is …
