“Inhibition or facilitation? Modulation of corticospinal excitability during motor imagery” Motor imagery (MI) is the mental simulation of an action without any overt movement. Functional evidences show that brain activity during MI and motor…

Anxiety-dependent modulation of motor responses to pain expectancy | Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience | Oxford Academic The relationship between pain expectancy and motor system plays a crucial role in the human defensive system. Here, we took advantage of the inhibitory modulation of the motor pathway to the muscle of the hand receiving painful stimuli, by recording motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) to Transcranial Mag...
