Journal ArticleDOI

Spinal use‐dependent plasticity of synaptic transmission in humans after a single cycling session

TL;DR: The view that spinal cord function is able to encode a local motor memory is supported, by exploring whether skilled training induces a change in synaptic efficacy at the synapse between Ia afferents and soleus (Sol) motoneurones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associative plasticity in intracortical inhibitory circuits in human motor cortex.

TL;DR: PAS paradigms can demonstrate Hebbian-like plasticity at selected inhibitory networks as well as excitatory networks and influence inhibitory circuits in M1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in spinal excitability after PAS.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PAS induces parallel changes in cortical and spinal excitability, and here, instead of F waves, H reflex recruitment curves are used to assess spinalexcitability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity of cortical inhibition in dystonia is impaired after motor learning and paired-associative stimulation

TL;DR: In patients with focal hand dystonia, the abnormal or absent modulation of afferent and intracortical long‐interval inhibition might indicate maladaptive plasticity that possibly contributes to the difficulty that they have to learn a new sensorimotor task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paired associative stimulation induces change in presynaptic inhibition of Ia terminals in wrist flexors in humans

TL;DR: It is argued that enhancement of segmental excitation by PAS relies on a selective effect of PAS on the interneurons controlling presynaptic inhibition of Ia terminals, which was concomitant with the facilitation of the H reflex.
