Open AccessVentral tegmental area connections to motor and sensory cortical fields in humans
In humans, sensorimotor cortical areas receive relevant dopaminergic innervation—although an anatomic description of the underlying fiber projections is lacking so far. In general, dopaminergic projections tow...

Open AccessPost-stroke insomnia in community-dwelling patients with chronic motor stroke: Physiological evidence and implications for stroke care
Questionnaire studies suggest that stroke patients experience sustained problems with sleep and daytime sleepiness, but physiological sleep studies focussing specifically on the chronic phase of stroke are lac...

Tractography of Association Fibers Associated with Language Processing
Several major association fiber tracts are known to be part of the language processing system. There is evidence that high angular diffusion-based MRI is able to separate these fascicles in a constant way. In ...

Modulation of motor cortex excitability induced by pinch grip repetition
We examined the influence of right handed pinch grips and the effect of a motor training on motor cortex excitability of the left first dorsal interosseus muscle (FDI). TMS single and paired pulses were applie...

Motor excitability and motor behaviour after modafinil ingestion – a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over trial
Modafinil is a novel vigilance-enhancing agent. We were interested if modafinil would also enhance motor excitability and improve motor performance and attention in healthy subjects.

Pre-movement motor excitability is reduced ipsilateral to low force pinch grips
Motor excitability ipsilateral to pinch grips was investigated during the pre-movement period. Subjects performed right-handed phasic pinch grips with 2% or 20% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) in response...
