Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a well-described phenomenon with a short half-life (~
28 s) that enhances muscle force production at submaximal levels of calcium saturation (ie …

Abstract The exploits of Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer represent the pinnacle of
motor learning. However, when considering the range and complexity of the processes that …

Motor cortex is widely believed to underlie the acquisition and execution of motor skills, but
its contributions to these processes are not fully understood. One reason is that studies on …

The motor-evoked potential (MEP) elicited in peripheral muscles by transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) over human motor cortex is one of the hallmark measures for non-invasive …

Neuroimaging studies have improved our understanding of which brain structures are
involved in motor learning. Despite this, questions remain regarding the areas that …

It has been 30 years since the discovery that repeated electrical stimulation of neural
pathways can lead to long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices. With its relevance to …
