This study identifies the causal role of the motor-parietal network in conscious kinesthetic perception using combined fMRI and tDCS.

The paper compares brain activity in younger and older adults during simple and complex finger movements, finding differences in ipsilateral PMd activation and interhemispheric connectivity.

This study finds that blind soccer players show increased gray matter volume in the RSC/PCC compared to blind non-soccer players, suggesting brain adaptation to spatial navigation without vision.

This study identifies structural and functional brain features associated with higher controllability of motor imagery using MRI and a CMI test.

This paper proposes a rehabilitation strategy for hand motor recovery after stroke by leveraging interhemispheric plasticity through bilateral proprioceptive-motor coupling and movement training.

This study uses rTMS to show that the right middle occipital gyrus causes perceptual distortion in egocentric spatial orientation during body tilt relative to gravity.

The paper examines functional and structural changes in the primary motor cortex of a Paralympian with congenital paraplegia compared to controls and other paraplegic athletes.

This paper shows that transcranial magnetic stimulation of the visual cortex disrupts motor function in acquired blind individuals but not congenitally blind or sighted individuals.

This study examines age dependency and lateralization in the three branches of the human superior longitudinal fasciculus using diffusion MRI and quantitative R1 maps across a wide age range.

This study uses fMRI to predict the freely chosen effector of an upcoming movement from cortical activation and finds that accurate prediction correlates with shorter response times.
