Kinesthetic Inputs

Kinesthesia is the sensory system which tells you what is being done to your body and what your body is doing. Kinesthesia and proprioception are synonymous. The main kinesthetic sensations are those of positi...

Short-interval cortical inhibition and intracortical facilitation during submaximal voluntary contractions changes with fatigue

This study determined whether short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and intracortical facilitation (ICF) change during a sustained submaximal isometric contraction. On 2 days, 12 participants (6 men, ...

Hand function is impaired in healthy older adults at risk of Parkinson’s disease

Abnormal substantia nigra morphology in healthy individuals, viewed with transcranial ultrasound, is a significant risk factor for Parkinson’s disease. However, little is known about the functional consequence...

Proprioceptive Mechanisms and the Human Hand

The hand is complex and used in many functions, including eating and communication. To control the hand accurately the brain needs information about the position, velocities and forces around each joint, which...

Eccentric exercise inhibits the H reflex in the middle part of the trapezius muscle

The objectives of this study were to (1) investigate the modulation of the H reflex immediately after and 24 h after eccentric exercise in the presence of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and (2) test the ...

Brassica carinata CIL1 mediates extracellular ROS production during auxin- and ABA-regulated lateral root development

In the plant cytoplasm signals from multiple sources interact to control development. Lateral root proliferation is controlled by the antagonistic action of the hormones auxin and abscisic acid (ABA). Auxin st...

Long-interval intracortical inhibition in a human hand muscle

When two motor cortical stimuli are delivered with an interstimulus interval of 50–200 ms, the response (motor evoked potential; MEP) to the second stimulus is typically suppressed. This phenomenon is termed l...

The effect of high-frequency cutaneous vibration on different inputs subserving detection of joint movement

Stimuli that preferentially activate rapidly adapting cutaneous receptors impair proprioception in the fingers. These experiments assessed potential mechanisms. The ability to detect passive movements about in...

The combined effect of muscle contraction history and motor commands on human position sense

Along with afferent information, centrally generated motor command signals may play a role in joint position sense. Isometric muscle contractions can produce a perception of joint displacement in the same dire...

Article

Perception of movement extent depends on the extent of previous movements

We report an aftereffect in perception of the extent (or degree or range) of joint movement, showing for the first time that a prolonged exposure to a passive back-and-forth movement of a certain extent result...

The origin of activity in the biceps brachii muscle during voluntary contractions of the contralateral elbow flexor muscles

During strong voluntary contractions, activity is not restricted to the target muscles. Other muscles, including contralateral muscles, often contract. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to analys...

Subthreshold transcranial magnetic stimulation during the long latency component of the cutaneomotor reflex

Modulation of ongoing electromyographic (EMG) activity in the small hand muscles can be induced by electrical stimulation of the digital nerves or by stimulation of the skin of the fingers. Several groups have...
