Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of electroencephalographic responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation: evidence for changes in cortical excitability related to movement.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the N100 component represents an inhibitory response following TMS, in agreement with intracellular recordings in animals, paired‐pulse TMS studies and experiments showing increased premovement excitability on the basis of MEPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

An impulse-timing theory for reciprocal control of muscular activity in rapid, discrete movements.

TL;DR: An impulse-timing theory is presented which attempts to predict the activity of reciprocal muscles based on certain characteristics of a movement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in recurrent inhibition during voluntary soleus contractions in man studied by an H-reflex technique.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the depression of Renshaw cell activity could play an important role during voluntary movements by favouring reciprocal Ia inhibition in relation to the inhibition exerted through the recurrent pathway on both motoneurones and Ia inhibitory interneurones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of motor cortical excitability in humans by non-invasive electrical stimulation appears prior to voluntary movement.

TL;DR: The time course of facilitation of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to transcranial electrical stimulation delivered at varying intervals near the onset of a voluntary ballistic movement was studied in 4 normal subjects.

A Dynamical Basis for Action Systems

TL;DR: This chapter begs to differ and side instead with Goethe’s Faust who, not satisfied with the accuracy of the biblical statement, proposed a rather different solution: “Im Anfang war die Tat”—“In the beginning was the act.
