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 …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies in humans have shown that many
behaviors engage processes that suppress excitability within the corticospinal tract …

The ability to stop already-initiated actions is a key cognitive control ability. Recent work on
human action-stopping has been dominated by two controversial debates. First, the …

Falling is the second most prevalent cause of accidental death in the world. Currently
available clinical tests to assess balance in older people are insufficiently sensitive to screen …

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

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 …

The motor system displays strong changes in neural activity during action preparation. In the
past decades, several techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) …

Interactive behaviors rely on the operation of several processes allowing the control of
actions, including their selection, withholding, and cancellation. The corticospinal system …

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”) …

Neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies suggest that in right-handed individuals, the
left hemisphere plays a dominant role in praxis, relative to the right hemisphere. However …
