Abstract Background/Objectives Interhemispheric inhibition in the brain plays a dynamic role
in the production of voluntary unimanual actions. In stroke, the interhemispheric imbalance …

Cross education is the process whereby training of one limb gives rise to enhancements in
the performance of the opposite, untrained limb. Despite interest in this phenomenon having …

Classical studies in animal preparations suggest a strong role for spinal control of posture. In
humans it is now established that the cerebral cortex contributes to postural control of …

This manuscript is the second part of a two-part description of the current status of
understanding of the network function of the brain in health and disease. We start with the …

The ability to inhibit actions, one of the hallmarks of human motor control, appears to decline
with advancing age. Evidence for a link between changes in inhibitory functions and poor …

Motor control is a fundamental challenge for the central nervous system. In this review, we
show that unimanual movements involve bi-hemispheric activation patterns that resemble …

The phenomenon of cross-limb transfer, in which unilateral strength training can result in
bilateral strength gains, has recently been tested for ballistic movements. Performance gains …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used as a useful interventional brain
stimulation technique to improve unilateral upper-limb motor function in healthy humans, as …

Voluntary movements depend on a well-regulated interplay between the primary motor
cortex (M1) and premotor areas. While to date the neural underpinnings of hand movements …
