Motor system reorganization after stroke: stimulating and training toward perfection
TA Jones, DAL Adkins - Physiology, 2015 - journals.physiology.org
Stroke instigates regenerative responses that reorganize connectivity patterns among
surviving neurons. The new connectivity patterns can be suboptimal for behavioral function …

Interhemispheric control of unilateral movement
V Beaulé, S Tremblay, H Théoret - Neural plasticity, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
To perform strictly unilateral movements, the brain relies on a large cortical and subcortical
network. This network enables healthy adults to perform complex unimanual motor tasks …

Mechanisms underlying functional changes in the primary motor cortex ipsilateral to an active hand
Performance of a unimanual hand motor task results in functional changes in both primary
motor cortices (M1ipsilateral and M1contralateral). The neuronal mechanisms controlling the …

Dual-site TMS as a tool to probe effective interactions within the motor network: a review
Dual-site transcranial magnetic stimulation (ds-TMS) is well suited to investigate the causal
effect of distant brain regions on the primary motor cortex, both at rest and during motor …

Strength training of one limb increases corticomotor excitability projecting to the contralateral homologous limb
The contralateral transfer of strength following unilateral strength training (ULS) is thought to
be due to changes within the nervous system. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) …

Proactive interhemispheric disinhibition supports response preparation during selective stopping
Response inhibition is essential for terminating inappropriate actions. A substantial
response delay may occur in the nonstopped effector when only part of a multieffector action …
