Cortical Connectivity: Brain Stimulation for Assessing and Modulating Cortical Connectivity and Function

Book Overview

Modulation of motor cortical connections through timed stimulation: animal studies.- Connection between premotor and motor cortices in primates.- Excitability of intracortical circuits in the primary motor cortex.- Effects of cortical stimulation on cortical functional connectivity: Imaging studies.- Accessing cortical connectivity using TMS.- Connections between cortical areas during grasping and modulation by brain stimulation.- Modulation of functional connectivity with transcranial direct current stimulation.- Cortical connections to motor cortex and their modulation in behavioural tasks (e.g. posterior parietal cortex, premotor cortex).- The functional role of interhemispheric interactions in human motor control.- Functional modulation of primary motor cortex during action selection.- Enhancement of normal cortical functions through brain stimulation.- Movement disorders.- Stroke.- Multiple sclerosis.- Spinal cord injury.- Psychiatric diseases.
