Although the interstimulus interval (ISI) is one of the crucial parameters in the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), the ISI effect on the results of the TMS motor mapping is usually overlooked. This study explored the influence of ISI, ranging from 1.5 to 41 s, on multi-muscle navigated TMS (nTMS) motor mapping results. Twenty-six healthy male volunteers ...

The primary motor cortex takes part in various stages of language learning accompanied by human motor activity. However, previous studies of causal relationships between the activation of primary motor cortex and efficiency of language tasks reveal contradictory results, likely due to diverging learning environments and specific movement patterns required by different experimental designs. The goal ...

The neural underpinnings of processing concrete and abstract semantics remain poorly understood. Previous
fMRI studies have shown that multimodal and amodal neural networks respond differentially to different semantic
types; importantly, abstract semantics activates more left-lateralized networks, as opposed to more
bilateral activity for concrete words. Due to the lack of temporal resolution, these fMRI results do not allow ...

To date, cerebellar contribution to language is well established via clinical and neuroimaging studies. However, the particular functional role of the cerebellum in language remains to be clarifed. In this study, we present the frst systematic review of the diverse language symptoms in spoken language after cerebellar lesion that were reported in case studies for ...

Background and Aims: The possibility to evoke a motor response
(MEP) in a hand muscle by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a
common proxy of the corticospinal tract integrity after a motor stroke.
However, it is still not clear how many muscles should be studied, and
which muscles are preferable to probe. Here we aimed to investigate
corticospinal excitability in ...

Background and Aims:Learned non-use is a substantial problem for neurorehabilitation and it represents the difference between the functional capacity of an affected limb (e.g. based on the Fugl-Mayer scale) and the actual use of this limb in a daily life (e.g. using AAUT scale). Although the Constraint-Induced Therapy has proved its effectiveness, this approach has ...

Besides stimulus intensities and interstimulus intervals (ISI), the electric field (E-field) orientation is known to affect both short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and facilitation (SICF) in paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). However, it has yet to be established how distinct orientations of the conditioning (CS) and test stimuli (TS) affect the SICI and SICF generation. With ...

Confidence in our retrieved memories, that is, retrospective confidence, is a metamemory process we perform daily. There is an abundance of applied research focusing on the metamemory judgments and very diverse studies including a wide range of clinical populations. However, the neural correlates that support its functioning are not well defined impeding the implementation of ...

The spatial accuracy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be as small as a few millimeters. Despite such great potential, navigated TMS (nTMS) mapping is still underused for the assessment of motor plasticity, particularly in clinical settings. Here, we investigate the within-limb somatotopy gradient as well as absolute and relative reliability of three hand muscle ...

Inter- and intra-subject variability of the motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to TMS is a well-known phenomenon. Although a possible link between this variability and ongoing brain oscillations was demonstrated, the results of the studies are not consistent with each other. Exploring this topic further is important since the modulation of MEPs provides unique possibility to ...

While variability of the motor responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is widely acknowledged, little is known about its central origin. One plausible explanation for such variability may relate to different neuronal states defining the reactivity of the cortex to TMS. In this study intrinsic spatio-temporal neuronal dynamics were estimated with Long-Range Temporal Correlations (LRTC) ...

Background and Purpose Despite the continuing efforts in multimodal assessment of the motor system after stroke, conclusive findings on the complementarity of functional and structural metrics of the corticospinal tract (CST) integrity and the role of the contralesional hemisphere are still missing.

In this paper, our focus is the connection and influence of language technologies on the research in neurolinguistics. We present a review of brain imaging-based neurolinguistics studies with a focus on the natural language representations, such as word embeddings and pre-trained language model. Mutual enrichment of neurolinguistics and language technologies leads to development of brain-aware natural ...

A within-limb somatotopy of the motor cortex remains a highly debated research topic. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a promising approach of non-invasive motor cortex mapping which is suitable for studying this topic in humans. One of the problems for interpreting TMS mapping results is that MNI normalization, which is routinely used for other brain ...

In practical medicine, a diagnostic procedure is used only when it can be interpreted at the individual level. The aim of this work was to systematically investigate the relative and absolute reliability of different TMS motor maps parameters. 18 young healthy male right-handed volunteers were enrolled. Two TMS motor mapping sessions of three right-hand muscles ...

This review presents current data on possible mechanisms forming synergies in health, particularly at the
cortical level. The mechanisms of formation of pathological synergies, taking account of the anatomical
and physiological characteristics of the upper limbs and the hypothesis, that synergistic patterns are transformed
in patients with spastic hemiparesis are discussed. Current views of the pathophysiological bases
of the ...
