Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was initially used to evaluate the integrity of the
corticospinal tract in humans non‐invasively. Since these early studies, the development of …

This article describes an approach to motor synergies that allows them to be quantified in
people with atypical movement patterns during exercise or practice. Within this approach …

Synergy discusses a general problem in biology: The lack of an adequate language for
formulating biologically specific problems. Written for an inquisitive reader who is not …

Bimanual actions involve coordinated motion but often rely on the movements performed
with each hand to be different. Older adults exhibit differentially greater variability for …

Learning to perform a motor task with one hand results in performance improvements in the
other hand, a process called intermanual transfer. To gain information on its neural …

Our recent work has shown that older adults are disproportionately impaired at bimanual
tasks when the two hands are moving out of phase with each other [Bangert, AS, Reuter …

Interhemispheric communication consists of a complex balance of facilitation and inhibition
that is modulated in a task-dependent manner. However, it remains unclear how individual …

Persons with Down syndrome are frequently described as 'clumsy'. The recent progress in
the development of quantitative approaches to motor synergies has allowed researchers to …

OBJECTIVE: Training to perform a serial reaction-time task (procedural motor learning) with
one hand results in performance improvements in the untrained as well as in the trained …

There is a fundamental gap in understanding how brain structural and functional network
connectivity are interrelated, how they change with age, and how such changes contribute to …
