The corticospinal tract is an important target for motor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI)
in animals and humans [1–5]. Voluntary motor output depends on the efficacy of synapses …

Background Paired corticospinal-motoneuronal stimulation (PCMS) increases corticospinal
transmission in humans with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective/…

The motor cortex and the corticospinal system contribute to the control of a precision grip
between the thumb and index finger. The involvement of subcortical pathways during human …

In uninjured humans, it is well established that voluntary contraction of muscles on one side
of the body can facilitate transmission in the contralateral corticospinal pathway. This …

It has been proposed that motor system activity during action observation may be modulated
by the kinematics of observed actions. One purpose of this activity during action observation …

Baclofen is a GABA B receptor agonist commonly used to relief spasticity related to motor
disorders. The effects of baclofen on voluntary motor output are limited and not yet understood. …

Rehabilitative interventions involving electrical stimulation show promise for neuroplastic
recovery in people living with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). However, the understanding of how …

Gait adaptation is crucial for coping with varying terrain and biological needs. It is also
important that any acquired adaptation is expressed only in the appropriate context. Here we …

We studied 12 peripheral neuropathy patients (PNP) and 13 age-matched controls with the “broken
escalator” paradigm to see how somatosensory loss affects gait adaptation and the …

Crossed facilitatory interactions in the corticospinal pathway are impaired in humans with
chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). The extent to which crossed facilitation is affected …
