Investigating the Influence of Upper Limb Movements on Lower Limb Neuroplasticity in Humans
… neurophysiological tools to assess spinal and cortical excitability, the studies examined whether UL activity modulates LL neuromotor function through interlimb neural coupling. In healthy adults, a novel UL movement paradigm was found to alter spinal excitability, suggesting shared pathways …

The Acute GABAergic Effects of Mindfulness Meditation in the Motor Cortex of University Students
Background: Previous research demonstrated the cortical silent period (CSP) protocol, a measure of GABAB related cortical inhibition, reliably reflects differences between psychiatric populations and healthy controls. Furthermore, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and mindfulness meditation (MM) …

Neuromuscular factors contributing to reductions in muscle force after repeated, high-intensity muscular efforts
… in work bouts (or sets) with brief rest periods for recovery. Therefore, the overall aim of the present research was to investigate the neuromuscular mechanisms contributing to force loss after repeated, high-intensity muscular efforts with longer (90 s) periods of rest separating …

Neurocircuitry of attention in methamphetamine induced psychosis: a comparison against schizophrenia patients and healthy controls
… to examine overlap and differences in 1) subcortical regulation of cortical inhibition and excitability, 2) resting state cortical and subcortical connectivity, and the dynamics of rhythmic neural activity between states, and 3) cortical-cortical connectivity using event related potential …
