Modulation of corticospinal excitability during arm cycling in humans
… implemented to examine supraspinal and spinal excitability, and bridge the gap between animal and human research. Therefore, this thesis set out to determine changes in corticospinal excitability in biceps brachii during different motor outputs, including those generated by spinal CPGs. The …

The Effects of Cryotherapy on Quadriceps Corticospinal Excitability in Patients withPatellofemoral Pain
… to determine if cryotherapy can alter quadriceps corticospinal excitability in patients with patellofemoral pain. Design and Setting: A blinded, crossover study was conducted in a laboratory setting. Subjects: Eight patients (1 male, 7 females; 19.6±1.11 years; 163.37±10.27 cm; 59.53±10.11 kg) …

The effects of social-comparative feedback on corticospinal excitability and balance performance.
… (emotional) response that subsequently, alters corticospinal excitability. This is based on studies observing correlations between valence, corticospinal excitability and balance performance. However, the neural processes contributing to the motor and cognitive benefits of social-comparative …

Interaction of voluntary activity and functional electrical stimulation in the upper extremity as a method for short-term alteration of corticospinal excitability and force control
… and force control before and after each session. Corticospinal excitability was evaluated using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at five time points throughout each session. There were no significant changes pre-post or between conditions for the maximum force or the force control. FES …

Physiological studies investigating neurological adaptations to resistance training
… of different strength training paradigms on corticospinal excitability and inhibition was studied throughout this thesis. The primary aim was to investigate the corticospinal responses following isometric, isotonic, cross-education and wholebody vibration (WBV) strength training, and to …

A multicomponential examination of tennis players’ emotional responses to music
… and fourth, to elucidate the role of motoneuron excitability in behavioural responses observed. These objectives were realised in four interrelated studies. First, 14 players provided quantitative and qualitative interview, questionnaire, and diary data to detail their use of personally emotive …

Plasticity of the cortical representation of finger extensors induced by paired associative stimulation
… (EMG) measurements to study cortical excitability and features of hand movement. This work focuses on a cohesive approach to answer central questions about: the ideal mechanism to facilitate cortical plasticity via PAS, the interaction between the behavior performed and type of …

Multiple sclerosis: Physiological, perceptive and neural responses to exercise intensity
… TMS revealed a significant depression in corticospinal excitability, with a clear intensity-dependent difference in the depth and duration of MEP depression. In addition, an inverse relationship was found between internal body temperature and corticospinal excitability. The results may …

The Effects of Altered Partial Pressures of Gas on Cognitive and Neural Function
… the motor system with <br/>TMS to measure Corticospinal Excitability (CSE). Hypoxia increased early motor neuron <br/>recruitment at lower stimulation intensities yet lowered maximum excitability, while <br/>Hyperoxia raised the saturation threshold for excitability, highlighting distinct …

Neuromuscular factors contributing to reductions in muscle force after repeated, high-intensity muscular efforts
… compared to the non-caffeine condition in corticospinal excitability, MN excitability or E-C coupling, as shown by the negligible changes in MEP/M amplitude, PIC facilitation, and torque during 20-Hz, 80-Hz and VFT stimulations. These data suggest that corticospinal tract efficiency and …
