Immediate cortical responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation of the human motor leg area

Mikkel Malling Beck, Marten Nuyts, Laura Sakalauskaitė, John C. Rothwell, Hartwig Roman Siebner, Lasse Christiansen

This study shows that transcranial magnetic stimulation of the human leg motor area elicits iTEPs similar to those from the hand area, suggesting a general cortical response.

Opposing modulation of cortical and corticospinal excitability across movement-related beta stages

Marten Nuyts, Hartwig Roman Siebner, Kaat Van Dael, Lasse Christiansen, Gianmaria Senerchia, Leo Tomasevic, John C. Rothwell, Mikkel Malling Beck, Raf Meesen, Sybren Van Hoornweder

The paper examines how cortical and corticospinal excitability changes during different beta-band states of movement, finding opposing patterns in their modulation.

Resting-state and task-related neurometabolite levels differentially relate to cortical excitability in the sensorimotor and prefrontal cortex

Marten Nuyts, Sima Chalavi, Geraldine Rodríguez‐Nieto, Koen Cuypers, Raf Meesen, Stephan Patrick Swinnen, Sybren Van Hoornweder

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.

Rostro-caudal TMS mapping of immediate transcranial evoked potentials reveals a pericentral crescendo-decrescendo pattern

Marten Nuyts, Mikkel Malling Beck, Agata Banach, Axel Thielscher, Raf Meesen, Leo Tomasevic, Hartwig Roman Siebner, Lasse Christiansen

The paper maps rostro-caudal transcranial evoked potentials (iTEPs) using TMS-EEG and compares them to motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), finding similar but distinct spatial patterns.

The Causal Role Of Beta Band Desynchronization: Individualized High-Definition Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Improves Bimanual Motor Control

Sybren Van Hoornweder, Diego Andrés Blanco-Mora, Marten Nuyts, Koen Cuypers, Stefanie Verstraelen, Raf Meesen

This study shows that individualized beta-band tACS improves bimanual motor control and increases movement-related beta desynchronization during motor planning.

A Systematic Review and Large-Scale tES and TMS Electric Field Modeling Study Reveals How Outcome Measure Selection Alters Results in a Person- and Montage-Specific Manner

Sybren Van Hoornweder, Marten Nuyts, Joana Frieske, Stefanie Verstraelen, Raf Meesen, Kevin A. Caulfield

This study reviews E-field outcome measures in tES and TMS and shows how they vary by person and montage, with limited overlap between methods.

From scalp to cortex, the whole isn't greater than the sum of its parts: introducing GetTissueThickness (GTT) to assess age and sex differences in tissue thicknesses

Sybren Van Hoornweder, Marc Geraerts, Stefanie Verstraelen, Marten Nuyts, Kevin A. Caulfield, Raf Meesen

The paper introduces GTT, a tool to quantify scalp-to-cortex distances, revealing sex and age-related differences in tissue thicknesses across brain regions.
