Modulation of primary orthostatic tremor by magnetic stimulation over the motor cortex.
OBJECTIVES To study the role of corticomotor neuronal pathways in primary orthostatic tremor. METHODS Transcranial magnetic stimuli at an intensity 10% above the resting motor threshold were delivered over the leg motor cortex in two patients with primary orthostatic tremor while standing still. Electromyographic responses in both tibialis anterior muscles were recorded after 20 stimuli given...
متن کاملModulation of Cortical Inhibitory Circuits after Cathodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation over the Primary Motor Cortex
Here, we aimed to evaluate whether cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) and primary somatosensory cortex (S1) can modulate cortical inhibitory circuits. Sixteen healthy subjects participated in this study. Cathodal tDCS was positioned over the left M1 (M1 cathodal) or left S1 (S1 cathodal) with an intensity of 1 mA for 10 min. Sham tDCS was ...
متن کاملTranscranial magnetic stimulation of primary motor cortex affects mental rotation.
Neuroimaging studies have shown that motor structures are activated not only during overt motor behavior but also during tasks that require no overt motor behavior, such as motor imagery and mental rotation. We tested the hypothesis that activation of the primary motor cortex is needed for mental rotation by using single- pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Single-pulse TMS was deliv...
متن کاملRepetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to the Primary Motor Cortex Interferes with Motor Learning by Observing
Neural representations of novel motor skills can be acquired through visual observation. We used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to test the idea that this "motor learning by observing" is based on engagement of neural processes for learning in the primary motor cortex (M1). Human subjects who observed another person learning to reach in a novel force environment imposed by ...
متن کاملReview: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation over the Human Primary Motor Cortex for Modulating Motor Control and Motor Learning
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique that is capable of producing after-effects outlasting the stimulation for minutes to more than an hour. Varied paradigms and targets of the stimulation may produce different brain modulations corresponding to the changes of specific cortical plasticity. Conventional low-frequency rTMS depresses the cortical excitabi...
