This study investigates how explicit and implicit information affects corticospinal excitability during hand-object interactions, finding that explicit cues improve performance but not excitability, while implicit cues do not influence either.

This study investigates the role of the anterior intraparietal cortex in anticipatory force scaling and the size-weight illusion using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

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

The paper investigates whether motor resonance is modulated by an object's weight distribution and finds that it is, during both observation and planning of lifting actions.

The paper shows that observing lifts of objects conveys weight distribution information, improving digit positioning strategies, but only error observations enhance predictive motor control for unexpected weight distributions.

This study uses dual-coil TMS to map effective connectivity between frontal cortex regions and contralateral M1, identifying task-specific functional subdivisions.

This study applies continuous TBS to awake rhesus monkeys and finds a long-lasting reduction in parietal neuron excitability and impaired grasping behavior.

The paper investigates the role of aIPS and LO in force scaling and weight perception during object lifting, finding no effect on force planning but time-specific changes in grip forces and weight estimation.

The paper investigates how task context affects corticospinal excitability during action observation, finding that a Go-NoGo paradigm reduces grasp-specific modulation of motor evoked potentials.

This paper investigates how weight expectations during object lifting observation modulate motor resonance, showing that pSTS suppression of motor resonance is critical for weight-based corticospinal excitability.

This study shows that simultaneous perception of size and weight during object lifting reduces the size-weight illusion below discrimination thresholds, supporting the prediction mismatch theory.

This study shows that observing skilled or erroneous lifts updates participants' internal sensorimotor object representation, enabling accurate predictive force scaling during subsequent lifts.

This study investigates the neural basis of TMS at the single-cell level in macaques, finding that TMS activates a small cortical volume and interacts with task-related activity without summation.

This study shows that sensorimotor memory for object weight during lifting is based on information from the lifting phase, not the holding phase.

The paper investigates how visual delay affects force scaling and weight perception during object lifting in virtual reality, revealing the brain's weighting of haptic and visual signals.
