The representation of muscles in the cortex can be mapped using navigated transcranial
magnetic stimulation. The commonly employed measure to quantify the mapping are the …

Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a valuable tool for non-invasive brain
stimulation. Currently, nTMS requires fixing of markers on the patient's head. Head marker …

The representation of upper limb muscles in the motor cortex is not clear-cut. The motor
cortex contains areas that, when stimulated, may activate different muscles simultaneously …

The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying muscle force control for different wrist
postures still need to be better understood. To further elucidate these mechanisms, the …

Muscle synergies are defined as coordinated recruitment of groups of muscles with specific
activation balances and time profiles aimed at generating task-specific motor commands …

Background: Monitoring cortical responses to neuromodulation protocols on preclinical
models can elucidate fundamental mechanisms of brain function. Concurrent brain …

Background Learning of a visuomotor task not only leads to changes in motor performance
but also improves proprioceptive function of the trained joint/limb system. Such sensorimotor …

Ao longo do tempo, diferentes estímulos, tais como visual, sonoro, químico, físico, entre
outros, foram empregados para investigar as respostas neurológicas, com o objetivo de …

Ever since the 1937 publication, the proposed motor homunculus is standard in our
textbooks though more recently the evidence accumulates that this picture oversimplifies …

Introduction. In the cerebral cortex, areas of the motor cortex have previously been mapped
from the point of view that individual muscles have specific areas in the cortex from which …
