Theta Burst Stimulation of the Human Motor Cortex

TL;DR: A very rapid method of conditioning the human motor cortex using rTMS that produces a controllable, consistent, long-lasting, and powerful effect on motor cortex physiology and behavior after an application period of only 20-190 s is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

A common polymorphism in the brain‐derived neurotrophic factor gene (BDNF) modulates human cortical plasticity and the response to rTMS

TL;DR: New non‐invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranials direct current stimulation (TDCS) techniques that directly test the excitability and plasticity of neuronal circuits in human motor cortex in subjects at rest are used.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Bayesian account of 'hysteria'

TL;DR: A neurobiologically informed model of hierarchical Bayesian inference in the brain is used to explain functional motor and sensory symptoms in terms of perception and action arising from inference based on prior beliefs and sensory information.
