Goal-directed action preparation in humans entails a mixture of corticospinal neural computations

This study shows that goal-directed action preparation in humans involves both multiplicative gain increases and additive suppression in corticospinal projections to relevant and irrelevant muscles, enhancing signal-to-noise for efficient action execution.

Corticospinal excitability at rest outside of a task does not differ from task intertrial intervals in healthy adults

This study measures corticospinal excitability during task intertrial intervals and out-of-task rest in healthy adults, finding no significant difference in motor evoked potentials.
