This study links better brain connectivity with lower dogmatism in young and older adults, showing age-related differences in cognitive flexibility and structural brain properties.

The paper examines how neurometabolite levels relate to cortical excitability in sensorimotor and prefrontal cortex using TMS-EEG and MRS, finding task-related GABA levels predict TEPs in sensorimotor cortex while resting-state levels predict DLPFC responses.

This study examines age-related differences in cortical motor network activity during unimanual and bimanual coordination using EEG, finding that older adults show reduced performance and altered alpha and beta activity in specific brain regions.

The paper investigates how interhemispheric zero-phase entrainment of the mu-rhythm affects visuomotor integration and predictive coding through neural and behavioral markers.

This study investigates how phase-specific targeted memory reactivation during sleep affects motor memory consolidation, finding that up-state cues improve performance and alter neural activity.

This study investigates whether targeted memory reactivation during sleep improves motor memory consolidation in older adults, finding no enhancement despite modulation of brain responses to auditory cues.

This paper extends lesion network mapping to a multimodal approach using functional and structural connectivity maps to predict sensorimotor behavior in stroke patients.

This paper builds a whole-brain computational model to show that age-related changes in high-order functional interactions are explained by variations in the connectome.

The paper shows that auditory TMR during sleep enhances motor memory by modulating slow wave-sigma oscillation coupling depending on timing.

This study examines age-related changes in endogenous GABA, functional connectivity, and behavioral flexibility during dynamic motor tasks.

This study investigates the effects of beta and gamma-band stimulation on motor inhibition using tACS, finding that beta stimulation enhances inhibition while gamma may slow braking.

This study examines how resting-state brain network connectivity relates to motor learning and memory consolidation using high-density EEG.

The paper examines the relationship between digit-specific cortical representations and motor performance, finding associations between representational similarity scores and digit enslaving or interference.

This study shows that prefrontal stimulation before motor sequence learning alters multivoxel patterns in the striatum and hippocampus, suggesting effects on offline consolidation.

This study examines how cortical stimulation affects reaching behavior in young and older adults, finding that premotor area stimulation has greater effects on movement amplitude and path deviation than motor cortex stimulation, with age-related changes in motor control flexibility.

The paper analyzes structural and dynamical functional connectivity in cerebellar networks and finds lower variability in dynamical functional connectivity in the posterior cerebellum compared to other brain regions.

This study shows that prefrontal cortex stimulation modulates hippocampal and striatal responses during motor learning using neuroimaging techniques.

This study uses O-Information to analyze how high-order statistical interdependencies in fMRI data change with age, finding increased redundancy in older adults across brain regions.

This study examines age-related changes in three-dimensional reaching movements under normal gravity conditions, finding reduced vertical precision and increased co-contraction in older adults.

This study shows that reducing trial-to-trial repetition during practice enhances skill acquisition compared to frequent repetition.

The paper calculates interaction information from fMRI data to examine redundancy and synergy in brain networks across lifespan, finding high redundancy in the default mode network and balanced redundancy-synergy patterns.

Coordinate-based meta-analyses reveal a premotor, rostral parietal, and somatosensory core shared by motor imagery, action observation, and execution; only imagery and execution share putamen and cerebellum.

The paper estimates brain-connectome age using structural and functional connectivity data and finds physical activity reduces this estimated age.

This review examines automatic reactions to exercise and sedentary behaviors, finding physical activity as a reward but limited evidence for sedentary behaviors as a reward.
