This study investigates whether pupil size reflects physical effort or motor fatigability during sustained repetitive movement and finds that it reflects effort but not fatigability.

This study shows reward reduces motor slowing during repetitive wrist tapping by increasing movement vigor, as indicated by higher muscle activity and sustained pupil dilation.

The paper shows that motor imagery and execution activate similar, stable finger representations in the sensorimotor cortex over time.

This paper uses dynamic causal modelling to show that reduced self-inhibition in the sensorimotor cortex contributes to motor fatigability.

This study shows that TMS-based neurofeedback training improves neuroplastic changes in the sensorimotor cortex by enhancing finger-specific motor representations.
