This study investigates whether contralateral thermal heat pain affects corticospinal and intracortical excitability, finding no reduction and instead increased corticospinal excitability, with perceived effort linked to pain experience rather than neural inhibition.

This study compares the effects of dorsal and ventral premotor cortices on contralateral motor cortex excitability using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

This study compares the effects of eccentric and concentric cycling on motor learning, finding that eccentric cycling enhances motor learning more than concentric cycling or rest.

This scoping review maps the effects of physical exercise on motor learning, highlighting gaps in clinical population representation, exercise intensity reporting, and long-term retention assessment.

This study examines motor cortex interneuron plasticity in Parkinson's disease patients using attention-modulated PAS and links it to prefrontal brain volume changes.

This scoping review examines the effects of fatigue from physical and cognitive exertion on motor learning, highlighting inconsistencies in definitions, measurements, and participant demographics.

This study shows that higher intensity aerobic exercise improves motor adaptation and learning more than lower intensity or rest.

This study compares the effects of eccentric and concentric cycling on primary motor cortex excitability using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

This study examines how different intensities of acute aerobic exercise affect motor cortical circuits using TMS, finding intensity-dependent changes in excitability and GABAergic inhibition.

This study examines if high intensity aerobic exercise with motor training improves cognitive-motor function and functional connectivity in chronic stroke patients, finding improved processing speed and reduced connectivity.

Exercise improves resting state functional connectivity in older adults without enhancing motor learning.

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.
