To determine if short-term (15 min) training in a novel tongue-task is associated with rapid
neuroplasticity of the tongue primary motor area (MI) in the human cerebral cortex, and if …

Reach-to-grasp is an evolutionarily conserved motor function that is adversely impacted
following stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) …

Rats explore their environment with rhythmic sweeps of their mystacial vibrissae in the range
of 5–15 Hz. We tested if vibrissa primary motor (M1) cortex produces electrical activity that …

Loss of teeth is associated with changes in somatosensory inputs and altered patterns of
mastication, but it is unclear whether tooth loss is associated with changes in motor …

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) causes transient pain and changes in the dental
occlusion that may lead to altered somatosensory inputs and patterns of mastication. This …

A traumatic brain injury or a focal brain lesion is followed by acute excitotoxicity caused by
the presence of abnormally high glutamate (Glu) levels in the cerebrospinal and interstitial …

Unilateral facial nerve transection induces plastic reorganization of the somatotopic order in
the primary motor cortex area (MI). This process is biphasic and starts with a transient …

A study was made of the effects of facial nerve transection on trigeminal stimulation-evoked
field potentials in the principal trigeminal (Pr5) and facial nuclei (7) in rats. Although the …

Background: There is clinical and experimental evidence that botulinum toxin applied to the
healthy side of patients with facial paralysis positively affects functional recovery of the …

Rationale and objectives: The long-term effects of neonatal treatment with MK-801 on spatial
learning and cortical plasticity were investigated in adult rats. Methods: Rat pups were …
