[HTML][HTML] Corticospinal excitability reductions during action preparation and action stopping in humans: Different sides of the same inhibitory coin?

C Bundt, RJ Huster - Neuropsychologia, 2024 - Elsevier
Motor functions and cognitive processes are closely associated with each other. In humans,
this linkage is reflected in motor system state changes both when an action must be …

Proactive cues facilitate faster action reprogramming, but not stopping, in a response-selective stop signal task

SE Salomoni, QF Gronau, A Heathcote, D Matzke… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
The ability to stop simple ongoing actions has been extensively studied using the stop signal
task, but less is known about inhibition in more complex scenarios. Here we used a task …

[HTML][HTML] Age-related differences in how the shape of alpha and beta oscillations change during reaction time tasks

GM Opie, JM Hughes, R Puri - Neurobiology of Aging, 2024 - Elsevier
While the shape of cortical oscillations is increasingly recognised to be physiologically and
functionally informative, its relevance to the aging motor system has not been established …

Faster action reprogramming, but not stopping, with proactive cues: Combining EMG and computational modelling in response-selective stop signal tasks

Effects of the motor cortical theta‐burst transcranial‐focused ultrasound stimulation on the contralateral motor cortex

X Xia, Z Wang, K Zeng, JF Nankoo… - The Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Theta‐burst transcranial ultrasound stimulation (tbTUS) increases primary motor cortex (M1)
excitability for at least 30 min. However, the remote effects of focal M1 tbTUS on the …

Healthy ageing influences how the shape of alpha and beta oscillations change during reaction time tasks

GM Opie, JM Hughes, R Puri - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Age-related changes to the power and frequency of the brains oscillatory activity have been
reported by an extensive literature. In contrast, the influence of advancing age on the shape …
