Probing the orientation specificity of excitatory and inhibitory circuitries in the primary motor cortex with multi-channel TMS
Souza V., Nieminen J., Tugin S., Koponen L., Ziemann U., Baffa O., Ilmoniemi R.
-
Multi-channel TMS electronically changes the stimulus orientation in milliseconds.
-
The effect of neuronal refractoriness, short-interval intracortical inhibition, and intracortical facilitation depends on the stimulus orientation.
-
Maximum inhibition and facilitation with conditioning pulse at posterolateral and anteromedial orientation, respectively.

• Adjustment of the stimulation orientation at 1° steps in submillisecond intervals.
• Multi-coil TMS enables automated, closed-loop brain stimulation protocols.
• The orientation sensitivity of motor responses follows a logistic function.
• The logistic model captures neurophysiological properties of neuronal excitation. ...

Background: Motor resonance reflects the activation of the motor system during the observation of others’ actions and is considered a physiological marker of the human mirror neuron system (MNS). This study investigated whether the excitatory and inhibitory balance in the primary motor cortex, driven by glutamatergic and GABAergic mechanisms, is linked to the strength of ...

Letter recognition is assumed to involve several levels of analysis, including coarse tuning for category and novelty and more fine tuning for specific features, related to letter orientation. We employed an oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) paradigm with magnetoencephalography (Elekta VectorView, 306 sensors) to study neural discrimination responses in the source space. Using contrasts ...

We observed a statistically significant decrease in reaction time during the process of learning within the SRT task and motor facilitation during action observation, thus reflecting putative mirror neuron activity. We found a significant correlation between the learning speed of the non-dominant hand and mirror neuron activation in the dominant hemisphere during the observation of ...

Typing is a multi-level process involving executive and motor functions. Due to its hierarchical organization, it becomes possible to study the psychophysiological features of higher mental functions in the natural environment by analyzing automated motor activity. The purpose of this work is to identify psychophysiological correlates of executive functions through computer typing. This study presents ...

Spatial suppression (SS) is a visual perceptual phenomenon that is manifest in a reduction of directional sensitivity for drifting high-contrast gratings whose size exceeds the center of the visual field. Gratings moving at faster
velocities induce stronger SS. The neural processes that give rise to such size- and velocity-dependent reductions
in directional sensitivity are currently unknown, and ...

A Battery of Cognitive Tasks for the Assessment of Non‑Affective and Affective Executive Functioning
Mohammed A., The Russian Journal of Cognitive Science 2019 Vol. 6 No. 3 P. 31–42
Executive functions (EF) are a set of higher order cognitive processes that are engaged in a goal directed behaviour.
It has been suggested that these functions work differently depending on the type of stimuli (non-affective or affective). Although there are many studies where EF measures have been used for affective or non-affective stimuli, the obtained results ...

This paper focused on the analysis of the representations of Russian companies employees about the effectiveness of teamwork and its contribution to the organizational results. The results of a survey of 843 employees of Russian companies are presented. It shows how respondents assess the contribution of group work to the effectiveness of the organization and what difficulties they encounter ...

Any activity on the organization of a foreign activity as meta-activities should have coherent and consistent methodological basis. Facilitation belongs to the category of metaactivity. Therefore, it should also have its own methodology. The purpose of this article is to present a methodological framework facilitating activities highlight, describe and analyze. The methodological basis for the model offacilitation session design ...

Among the professional competencies of the business psy-chologist, the conflict competence is also, as a rule, expected from others. This type of activities is considered here in the context of the three main forms of group psychologi-cal work – facilitation, moderation and mediation. Organizational ...

Inhibitory control is the stopping of a mental process with or without intention, conceptualized as
mental suppression of competing information because of limited cognitive capacity. Inhibitory control
dysfunction is a core characteristic of many major psychiatric disorders. Inhibition is generally
thought to involve the prefrontal cortex; however, a single inhibitory mechanism is insufficient for
interpreting the heterogeneous nature of ...

Attending a location in space facilitates responses to targets at that location when the time between cue and target is short. Certain types of exogenous cues - such as sudden peripheral onsets - have been described as reflexive and automatic. Recent studies, however, have many cases where exogenous cues are less automatic than previously believed ...

It has been noted that it has been the case that it has been recognized as a paradigm. Krüger, MacInnes, and Hunt (2014) propose that it is possible to re-enterrant processing. In the case of experiments, we’ve been working on the asynchrony (CTOA) ranging from -300 to + 1000ms. An analysis of the reaction time ...

The paper focuses on facilitation methods, one of the most rapidly developing areas of applied psychology. A new approach to development of group efficacy based on a range of facilitation techniques and methods is proposed. Facilitation reveals itself as a robust tool of group dynamics improvement. The paper summarizes the rich Western experience of implementing ...
