About this Research Topic
Brain stimulation methods have emerged as powerful tools in human motor neuroscience research. These techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), allow non-invasive modulation of brain activity and offer unique insights into the neural mechanisms underlying motor function. They have been employed to study motor learning, motor control, motor rehabilitation, and various neuronal disorders. Understanding the potential and limitations of brain stimulation methods in the context of motor neuroscience is crucial for advancing our knowledge and developing innovative interventions.
The goal of this Research Topic is to explore the diverse applications of brain stimulation methods in human motor neuroscience and investigate their effects on motor function. We aim to address key questions such as the specific neural circuits targeted by different brain stimulation techniques, the modulation of motor learning and performance through stimulation, and the potential therapeutic applications of brain stimulation in motor rehabilitation. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these techniques and their effects on motor function, we can pave the way for future advancements in motor neuroscience research and clinical practice.
We invite authors to contribute original research, reviews, perspectives, and methodological articles that shed light on the use of brain stimulation methods in human motor neuroscience. Specific themes to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
-Modulation of motor learning and skill acquisition through brain stimulation.
-Investigation of the neural mechanisms underlying motor control using brain stimulation techniques.
-Assessment of the effects of brain stimulation on motor disorders and motor rehabilitation outcomes.
-Novel approaches and protocols for brain stimulation in motor neuroscience research.
-Combination of brain stimulation with other neuroimaging techniques to study motor function.
Authors are encouraged to provide empirical evidence, theoretical insights, and practical implications for the field of motor neuroscience. This Research Topic aims to foster collaborations between researchers utilizing brain stimulation methods and contribute to the advancement of our understanding of motor function and its modulation through non-invasive brain stimulation.
