Resistance training increases volitional force-producing capacity, and it is widely accepted
that such an increase is partly underpinned by adaptations in the central nervous system …

Cross‐education describes the training of one limb that leads to performance enhancements
in the contralateral untrained limb, driven by neural changes rather than muscle adaptation …

Patients undergoing unilateral orthopedic or neurological rehabilitation have different levels
of impairments in the right-or left-dominant hand. However, how handedness and the …

Past work has shown that brain structure and function differ between females and males.
Males have larger cortical and sub-cortical volume and surface area (both total and …

This study aimed to assess the effect of the altered strength of the sound limb on the
hemodynamics in the affected brain of stroke patients. We recruited 20 stroke patients to …

In 1894 foundational work showed that training one limb for “muscular power”(ie strength) or
“muscular control”(ie skill) improves performance in both limbs. Despite that the original data …

Brain computer interface (BCI) based on speech imagery can help people with motor
disorders communicate their thoughts to the outside world in a natural way. Due to being …

Introduction In past work we demonstrated different patterns of white matter (WM) plasticity in
females versus males associated with learning a lab-based unilateral motor skill. However …

The neural pathways that contribute to force production in humans are currently poorly
understood, as the relative roles of the corticospinal tract and brainstem pathways, such as …

The effectiveness of rehabilitation is contingent upon the motor recovery process which
typically involves long-term motor skill re-acquisition. Given that the learning process can be …
