Direct mapping rather than motor prediction subserves modulation of corticospinal excitability during observation of actions in real time
(American Physiological Society, 2015-03-25)
Motor facilitation refersto the specific increment in corticospinal excitability (CSE)elicited by the observation of actions performed by others. To date,the precise nature of the mechanism at the basis of this phenomenonis ...
Corticospinal Excitability Preceding the Grasping of Emotion-Laden Stimuli
(Public Library of Science, 2014-04)
Evolutionary theories posit that emotions prime organisms for action. This study examined whether corticospinal excitability (CSE) is modulated by the emotional valence of a to-be-grasped stimulus. CSE was estimated based ...
The relative influence of goal and kinematics on corticospinal excitability depends on the information provided to the observer
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2015-08)
Viewing a person perform an action activates the observer's motor system. Whether this phenomenon reflects the action's kinematics or its final goal remains a matter of debate. One alternative to this apparent controversy ...
Impaired interhemispheric interactions in patients with major depression
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2008)
Previous studies have shown that patients with major depression have an interhemispheric imbalance between right and left prefrontal and motor cortex. We aimed to investigate the interhemispheric interactions in patients ...
Observing Grasping Actions Directed to Emotion-Laden Objects: Effects upon Corticospinal Excitability
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-08)
The motor system is recruited whenever one executes an action as well as when one observes the same action being executed by others. Although it is well established that emotion modulates the motor system, the effect of ...
