Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been widely used for studying the
physiology of the CNS, identifying the functional role of specific brain structures and, more …

Stroke has long been regarded as focal disease with circumscribed damage leading to
neurological deficits. However, advances in methods for assessing the human brain and in …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a mainstay of cognitive neuroscience,
thus facing new challenges due to its widespread application on behaviorally silent areas. In …

Identification of optimal treatment strategies to improve recovery is limited by the incomplete
understanding of the neurobiological principles of recovery. Motor cortex (M1) …

The goal of this review is to show how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques
can make a contribution to the study of brain networks. Brain networks are fundamental in …

Different corticothalamic brain modules intrinsically oscillate at a “natural frequency” in a
topographically organized manner. In “quiescent” human sensorimotor regions, the main …

Imperceptible transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) changes the endogenous
cortical oscillatory activity in a frequency-specific manner. In the human motor system, tACS …

Methods Healthy, young volunteers (n= 12) performed 1000 submaximal voluntary
contractions (MVC) of the right first dorsal interosseus (FDI) at 80% MVC over 20 sessions …

Action preparation is characterized by a set of complex and distributed processes that occur
in multiple brain areas. Interestingly, dual-coil transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a …

Visuospatial abilities are preferentially mediated by the right hemisphere. Although this
asymmetry of function is thought to be due to an unbalanced interaction between cerebral …
