Physiological markers of motor inhibition during human behavior
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies in humans have shown that many
behaviors engage processes that suppress excitability within the corticospinal tract …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation: decomposing the processes underlying action preparation
S Bestmann, J Duque - The Neuroscientist, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
Preparing actions requires the operation of several cognitive control processes that
influence the state of the motor system to ensure that the appropriate behavior is ultimately …

Nonspecific inhibition of the motor system during response preparation
Motor system excitability is transiently inhibited during the preparation of responses.
Previous studies have attributed this inhibition to the operation of two mechanisms, one …

Selective suppression of local interneuron circuits in human motor cortex contributes to movement preparation
Changes in neural activity occur in the motor cortex before movement, but the nature and
purpose of this preparatory activity is unclear. To investigate this in the human (male and …

A functional gradient in the rodent prefrontal cortex supports behavioral inhibition
The ability to plan and execute appropriately timed responses to external stimuli is based on
a well-orchestrated balance between movement initiation and inhibition. In impulse control …

Exploring cortico-cortical interactions during action preparation by means of dual-coil transcranial magnetic stimulation: A systematic review
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 …

Individual differences in resting corticospinal excitability are correlated with reaction time and GABA content in motor cortex
Individuals differ in the intrinsic excitability of their corticospinal pathways and, perhaps more
generally, their entire nervous system. At present, we have little understanding of the …

The neural specificity of movement preparation during actual and imagined movements
Current theories consider motor imagery, the mental representation of action, to have
considerable functional overlap with the processes involved in actual movement preparation …

Premovement suppression of corticospinal excitability may be a necessary part of movement preparation
In reaction time (RT) tasks corticospinal excitability (CSE) rises just prior to movement. This
is preceded by a paradoxical reduction in CSE, when the time of the imperative (“GO”) …
