Cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation modulates the motor learning of visually guided voluntary postural control task
2022, Neuroscience LettersCitation Excerpt :A previous study reported that the intensity of rMT was almost equal between the method using electromyography and visual estimation [14]. The inter-stimulus interval was set at 1 s, and 900 pulses were applied [13,27,30,34,41] because a 1-Hz rTMS over the cerebellum immediately reduces motor function [21,27,30,34,35]. For sham rTMS, the coil was held at a 90° angle from the scalp over the same site for active stimulation conditions [16,25,27–30,34].
Dentate Nucleus: Connectivity-Based Anatomic Parcellation Based on Superior Cerebellar Peduncle Projections
2021, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Concerning motor function, the cerebellum is generally regarded as involved in the control of movements of the ipsilateral limbs, and unilateral lesions of the cerebellum are primarily associated with unilateral motor impairments.5 However, there is increasing evidence that a single cerebellar hemisphere is involved in bilateral movement of the extremities.3,5,9,15,18,20-28 Electric stimulation of the DN elicits bilateral muscle responses in macaque monkeys.20,21,28
Manual dexterity in children with autism spectrum disorder: A cross-syndrome approach
2020, Research in Autism Spectrum DisordersCitation Excerpt :Previous studies have shown that manual dexterity is impaired in children with ASD compared to TD controls (Duffield et al., 2013; Green et al., 2002, 2009; Hirata et al., 2014; Provost, Lopez, & Heimerl, 2007; Riquelme et al., 2016; Staples & Reid, 2010; Thompson et al., 2017; Whyatt & Craig, 2012) and structural deficits within the left-hemisphere in children with ASD may mediate manual dexterity deficits (Mahajan et al., 2016; Thompson et al., 2017). Motor areas of the left-hemisphere – such as sensorimotor, premotor, and parietal cortices – and thecerebellum are dominant for performing complex repetitive hand-motor sequences in TD individuals (Haaland et al., 2004; Miall & Christensen, 2004; Thompson et al., 2017). Left-hemisphere dysfunction (Mahajan et al., 2016; Peterson et al., 2015; Thompson et al., 2017) and cerebellar deficits (D’Mello & Stoodley, 2015) in children with ASD are well documented in the literature.
Does Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Induce Cerebellum Plasticity? Feasibility, Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Electrophysiological Approach
2016, Brain StimulationCitation Excerpt :In addition, tDCS can shape CBI, which in turn depends on a PC-dependent dentate nucleus inhibition with a consequent reduction of dentate-thalamo-cortical facilitatory drive (i.e. a MEP amplitude decrease) [5,6,9–11]. Cerebellar rTMS and theta-burst protocols have demonstrated a modulation of motor cortex excitability and motor cortex-related task performance, probably secondary to a modulation of PC excitability [41–48]. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that cerebellar stimulation modifies the activity of either facilitatory or inhibitory interneurons within the motor cortex, according to the triggered interneurons by part of cerebellar-thalamo-cortical drive, beyond a direct effect on cerebellar cortical excitability [1,12,49].
