TL;DR: Average SICI is the most reproducible variable across paired-pulse TT-TMS measures, showing an excellent ICC and it is recommended that, in longitudinal studies, testing be performed at the same time of day and that changes in cortical excitability should be measured and averaged over a number of interstimulus intervals to minimise variability.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, when human axons discharge, nodal slow K+ currents will be activated sufficiently early to contribute to the early changes in excitability following the action potential.

TL;DR: It is speculated that the brain has the capacity for repair and/or regeneration, and clinicians should approach cognitive impairment and dementia with a new, cautious optimism.

TL;DR: It is a thesis of this book that the final movement is only that part of the supraspinally derived programme that the spinal cord circuitry deems appropriate, and the influence that it plays in shaping the final motor output should not be underestimated.

TL;DR: A reduction in the corticospinal control of ‘feedback inhibitory interneurones’ mediating peripheral inhibition to propriospinal neurones during grip and pinching suggests the resulting more effective background excitation of propriospinals neurones by the peripheral input from hand muscles could contribute to stabilizing the wrist during grip.
