Resilience to persistent pain is characterized by stable periodic and increased aperiodic cortical activity

This study shows that cognitive-motor training, like musical expertise, shapes cortical dynamics during pain, leading to more resilient pain responses and improved prediction of pain severity through aperiodic EEG features.

The Rhythm of Normality: A Comprehensive Normative Database for TMS-EEG Metrics with Reliability Characterization

The paper constructs a normative TMS-EEG database with reliability analysis and identifies reliable features for individual-level comparison.

REDUCED ALPHA-BAND PHASE COHERENCE AND CORTICAL COMPLEXITY IN FIBROMYALGIA: A TMS-EEG EXPLORATORY STUDY

This study uses TMS-EEG to find reduced alpha-band phase coherence and cortical complexity in fibromyalgia patients compared to healthy controls.

Extracting Reproducible Components from Electroencephalographic Responses to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation with Group Task-Related Component Analysis

This paper introduces gTRCA, a method to extract reproducible TEP components across trials and subjects, showing it reliably identifies key features of motor TEPs in TMS-EEG data.

Peak alpha frequency is not significantly altered by five days of experimental pain and repetitive transcranial stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

This study investigates whether rTMS affects peak alpha frequency (PAF) and pain in response to NGF-induced muscle pain, finding no significant change in PAF but suggesting PAF proximity to rTMS frequency may influence pain relief.

Prior use-dependent plasticity triggers different individual corticomotor responses during persistent musculoskeletal pain

This study shows that prior motor experience influences corticomotor responses during prolonged musculoskeletal pain, with musicians showing less pain-related changes than non-musicians.

POSTERIOR-SUPERIOR INSULA REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION REDUCES EXPERIMENTAL TONIC PAIN AND PAIN-RELATED CORTICAL INHIBITION IN HUMANS

This study shows that PSI-rTMS reduces tonic pain and pain-related cortical inhibition in humans, with changes in TEP N45 peak levels mediating the analgesic effect.

Acute pain drives different effects on local and global cortical excitability in motor and prefrontal areas: Insights into interregional and interpersonal differences in pain processing

The paper examines how acute pain affects local and global cortical excitability in motor and prefrontal areas, revealing interindividual differences in pain processing.

Use-dependent plasticity enhances nociceptive and non-nociceptive somatosensory cortical responses in healthy individuals

The paper shows that repetitive sensorimotor training and multimodal integration enhance neural plasticity, increasing stimulus-selectivity to nociceptive cues in healthy individuals.
