There are declines with age in speed of processing, working memory, inhibitory function,
and long-term memory, as well as decreases in brain structure size and white matter …

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) use brain activity to control external devices, thereby
enabling severely disabled patients to interact with the environment. A variety of invasive …

Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques can be used to monitor and modulate the
excitability of intracortical neuronal circuits. Long periods of cortical stimulation can produce …

Each of the descending pathways involved in motor control has a number of anatomical,
molecular, pharmacological, and neuroinformatic characteristics. They are differentially …

Neurorehabilitation for stroke is important for upper limb motor recovery. Conventional
rehabilitation such as occupational therapy has been used, but novel technologies are …

Background/objectives Over the last ten years, an increasing number of authors have used
the theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocol to investigate long-term potentiation (LTP) and …

There is a lack of consistency among researchers and clinicians in the use of terminology
that describes changes in motor ability following neurological injury. Specifically, the terms …

Does plasticity contribute to adult cognitive development, and if so, in what ways? The
vague and overused concept of plasticity makes these controversial questions difficult to …

In recent years, new research has brought the field of electroencephalogram (EEG)-based
brain–computer interfacing (BCI) out of its infancy and into a phase of relative maturity …

Approximately one-third of patients with stroke exhibit persistent disability after the initial
cerebrovascular episode, with motor impairments accounting for most poststroke disability …
