Primary motor cortex excitability is modulated with bimanual training
Abstract
Bimanual visuomotor movement has been shown to enhance cortical motor activity in both hemispheres, especially when movements require simultaneous activation of homologous muscle groups (in-phase movement). It is currently unclear if these adaptations are specific to motor preparatory areas or if they also involve changes in primary motor cortex (M1). The present study investigated the representation of wrist muscles within motor cortex before …
