Humans with a high motor excitability have a better working memory than humans with a low excitability. By measuring the motor excitability, conclusions can be drawn as to the general cortical ...

Nerve cells can regulate their sensitivity to incoming signals autonomously. A new study has now discovered a mechanism that does just that. Nerve cells can regulate their sensitivity to incoming ...

This study investigates neurophysiological mechanisms underlying corticospinal excitability and sensorimotor cortical activity in response to neuroplasticity-priming interventions. We use non-invasive ...

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Excitability' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with medications. The medication(s) ...

Neural excitability is not constant; it depends on the brain's internal state. Our results show that even identical neurons can respond differently depending on the time of day, governed by molecules ...

A new framework redefines spinal cord injury as a systems-level disruption of the brain–body–environment loop, requiring ...

Nocturnal rats are active at night and accumulate fatigue toward dawn. Using optogenetic stimulation of cortical neurons and simultaneous local field potential (LFP) recordings, the study revealed ...

A new study reports that immune cell responses to bacteria affect the intrinsic excitability of rat neuronal subtypes differently. The findings have implications for neural network control, including ...

Our brains do not react in a fixed, mechanical way like electronic circuits. Even if we see the same scene every day on our commute to work, what we feel - and whether it leaves a lasting impression - ...
