The descending projections from motor cortex share many features with top-down or
backward connections in visual cortex; for example, corticospinal projections originate in …

Background—The precise mechanisms of and biological basis for motor recovery after
stroke in adults are still largely unknown. Reorganization of the motor system after stroke as …

While multisensory integration is thought to occur in higher hierarchical cortical areas, recent
studies in man and monkey have revealed plurisensory modulations of activity in areas …

The application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to paretic limbs has
demonstrated utility for motor rehabilitation following brain injury. When NMES is delivered …

Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) has come to prominence as a potential therapeutic
intervention for the treatment of brain injury/disease, and as an experimental method with …

Two characteristics of the thalamus—its apparently simple relay function and its daunting
multinuclear structure—have been customarily viewed as good reasons to study something …

Sensory and motor systems interact closely during movement performance. Furthermore,
proprioceptive feedback from ongoing movements provides an important input for successful …

Professional musicians are an excellent model of long-term motor learning effects on
structure and function of the sensorimotor system. However, intensive motor skill training has …

Intracortical evoked potentials to nonnoxious Aβ (electrical) and noxious Aδ (laser) stimuli
within the human primary somatosensory (S1) and motor (M1) areas were recorded from 71 …

The detailed organization of somatosensory area 3a was examined in macaque monkeys
using multiunit electrophysiological recording techniques. By examining topographic …
