Neural mechanisms underlying leg muscle responses during cervical transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation

This study investigates leg muscle responses to cervical tSCS and finds that leg responses occur only with specific anode placements, suggesting direct efferent fiber recruitment rather than long-range spinal connections.

Transient effects in corticospinal and reticulospinal tract excitability induced by motor skill and isometric resistance training

This study examines how single sessions of motor skill and resistance training affect corticospinal and reticulospinal tract excitability in adults, finding increased corticospinal excitability with motor skill training but no change in reticulospinal or spinal excitability.

Development and evaluation of a non-invasive brain-spine interface using transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation

This paper develops a non-invasive brain-spine interface using EEG and transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation to detect movement onset and improve motor rehabilitation.
