The motor cortex can be stimulated transcranially producing excitatory and inhibitory
phenomena in muscles controlled by the activated cortical areas. The physiologic bases of …

Skilled grasp is a sensorimotor process requiring the brain to extract sensory cues from the
environment to shape a motor command. Although a large body of literature has focused on …

Behavior arises from a constant competition between potential actions. For example,
movements performed unimanually require selecting one hand rather than the other …

In humans, the rostral part of the ventral premotor cortex (PMv), the homologue of F5 in
monkeys, is known to be critically involved in sha** the hand to grasp objects. How does …

Interactions between the ventral premotor (PMv) and the primary motor cortex (M1) are
crucial for transforming an object's geometrical properties, such as its size and shape, into a …

The motor program is a concept that has had a major influence on theorizing in the field of
motor control. However, there has been a lack of consensus as to what exactly is a motor …

Functional connections between dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) and primary motor cortex
(M1) have been revealed by paired‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We …

Noninvasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging have revolutionized human neuroscience
with a multitude of applications, including diagnostic subty**, treatment optimization, and …

Although it is widely assumed that emotions prime the body for action, the effects of visual
perception of natural emotional scenes on the temporal dynamics of the human motor …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used in two different ways to investigate the
contribution of cortical areas involved in grasp/reach movements in humans. It can produce …
