Timecourse of corticospinal excitability for observed action: evidence of early suppression followed by return to baseline without facilitation

Baptiste M Waltzing, Marcos Moreno Verdú, Elise E Van Caenegem, Laurine Boidequin, Charlène Truong, Raphaël Hamel, Robert M. Hardwick

The paper examines corticospinal excitability changes during action observation, finding early suppression followed by a return to baseline without facilitation, with muscle-specific effects.

Time-Dependent Facilitation of Homologous Actions

Raphaël Hamel, Félix-Antoine Savoie, T. David Punt, Ned Jenkinson, Mark R. Hinder

This study investigates how effector homology and temporal delays influence interference and facilitation between unimanual actions, revealing a time-dependent shift from interference to facilitation specific to homologous actions.

Bilateral Intracortical Inhibition during Unilateral Motor Preparation and Sequence Learning

Raphaël Hamel, Baptiste M Waltzing, Mark R. Hinder, C.J. McAllister, Ned Jenkinson, Joseph M. Galea

This study investigates how sequence learning affects bilateral intracortical inhibition during motor preparation, finding that it alters baseline inhibition levels rather than the acute inhibition decreases during preparation.

Sub-Concussive Head Impacts From Heading Footballs Do Not Acutely Alter Brain Excitability As Compared to a Control Group

Raphaël Hamel, Baptiste M Waltzing, T. Massey, James Blenkinsop, Leah McConnell, K. Osborne, Karamo Sesay, Finn Stoneman, A. Carter, H. Maaroufi, Ned Jenkinson

This study investigates whether sub-concussive head impacts from football headings alter brain excitability, finding no acute changes in corticomotor inhibition compared to a control group.

The Neurochemical Mechanisms Underlying the Enhancing Effects of Rewards and Punishments on Motor Performance

Raphaël Hamel, Joshua Pearson, Lina Sifi, Dr Areeba Patel, Mark R. Hinder, Ned Jenkinson, Joseph M. Galea

This study investigates how rewards and punishments affect motor performance by examining changes in glutamatergic facilitation and GABAA inhibition in the motor cortex during movement preparation.
