Background/objectives Over the last ten years, an increasing number of authors have used
the theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocol to investigate long-term potentiation (LTP) and …

Objective The present study investigated the effects of continuous theta-burst stimulation
(cTBS) over primary somatosensory (SI) and motor (M1) cortices on motor-evoked potentials …

Dexterous object manipulation is a hallmark of human evolution and a critical skill for
everyday activities. A previous work has used a grasping context that predominantly elicits …

The effect of sensory signals coming from skin and muscle afferents on the sensorimotor
cortical networks is entitled as sensory-motor integration (SMI). SMI can be studied …

Recent studies have indicated somatosensory cortex involvement in motor learning and
retention. However, the nature of its contribution is unknown. One possibility is that the …

Background The primary somatosensory cortex (SI) is important for hand function and has
direct connectivity with the primary motor cortex (M1). Much of our present knowledge of this …

Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) can
alleviate pain although the neural basis of this effect remains largely unknown. Besides, the …

Rapid-rate paired associative stimulation (rPAS) involves repeat pairing of peripheral nerve
stimulation and Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) pulses at a 5 Hz frequency. RPAS …

Background Temporal order judgement (TOJ) is the ability to detect the order of occurrence
of two sequentially delivered stimuli. Previous research has shown that TOJ in the presence …

Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is intended primarily to alter corticospinal
excitability, creating an attractive opportunity to alter neural output following incomplete …
