Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of brain plasticity in stroke: a novel model for neurorehabilitation

TL;DR: A bimodal balance–recovery model is suggested that links interhemispheric balancing and functional recovery to the structural reserve spared by the lesion, which could enable NIBS to be tailored to the needs of individual patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

I-wave origin and modulation.

TL;DR: Whether the main characteristics of the activity evoked by single- and paired-pulse and repetitive TMS, can be accounted by the interaction of the induced currents in the brain with the key anatomic features of a simple cortical circuit, which represents the minimum architecture necessary for capturing the most essential cortical input-output operations of neocortex is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of motor cortex neuronal networks by rTMS: comparison of local and remote effects of six different protocols of stimulation

TL;DR: Head-to-head comparison of the different rTMS protocols enabled us to identify the most effective paradigms for modulating the excitatory and inhibitory circuits activated by TMS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurobiological after-effects of non-invasive brain stimulation

TL;DR: Preliminary experimental studies indicate a complex scenario potentially relevant to the therapeutic effects of NIBS, including gene activation/regulation, de novo protein expression, morphological changes, changes in intrinsic firing properties and modified network properties resulting from changed inhibition, homeostatic processes and glial function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin of Facilitation of Motor-Evoked Potentials After Paired Magnetic Stimulation: Direct Recording of Epidural Activity in Conscious Humans

TL;DR: It is concluded that ICF occurs because either the conditioning stimulus has a (thus far undetected) effect on spinal cord excitability that increases its response to the same amplitude test volley or it can alter the composition (but not the amplitude) of the descending volleys set up by the test stimulus such that a larger proportion of the activity is destined for the target muscle.
