Repetitive stimulation of premotor cortex affects primary motor cortex excitability and movement preparation

Brain Stimulation

Abstract

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can be used to explore functional connectivity between cortical areas. To determine the effects of two theta burst stimulation (TBS) patterns (intermittent, iTBS; and continuous, cTBS) of left dorsal premotor cortex (PMd). Left PMd was identified in 11 participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), during performance of complex sequential finger movements. Each participant received iTBS, cTBS, or sham TBS of left PMd in three separate sessions within a randomized, single-blind design. The speed and accuracy of simple and complex sequential reaction time (RT) task performance was measured before and after TBS. The excitability of primary motor cortex (M1) bilaterally, and interhemispheric facilitation from left PMd to right M1, were also measured before and after TBS. iTBS sped up the preparation of complex sequences performed with the right hand, with no detectable changes in M1 excitability. RT performance was maintained after cTBS, in the presence of increased left M1 excitability and suppressed right M1 excitability. Facilitatory and inhibitory TBS protocols applied to left PMd differentially alter corticomotor excitability and behavior, which suggests that these...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
