The sensorimotor cortex plays an important role in motor control and its study has brought important insights on how posture and movement are influenced by brain mechanisms. Studies based on the corticomuscular coherence (CMC) measured between electroencephalographic and electromyographic signals have been made in recent decades and have helped in understand some of the influences of cort…
The decrease in the quality of proprioceptive information arriving at the central nervous system (CNS) has been considered as one of the main factors that contribute to changes in the postural control in the elderly. A thorough investigation of the role of the proprioceptive system in postural control would require the assessment of both the peripheral and central parts of the nervous sys…
Neurophysiological changes have been associated to motor skill learning. For instance, following ankle force-matching practice, increased corticospinal excitability (assessed by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - TMS) and higher interaction between motor cortex and motoneurons (assessed by electroencephalography and electromyography) are observed. However, the corticospinal adaptation af…
