Balancing the excitability of M1 circuitry during movement observation without overt replication
Arias, Pablo; Robles-García, Verónica; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Espinosa, Nelson; Mordillo-Mateos, Laura; Grieve, Kenneth; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier (Frontiers, 2014-09-17)[Abstract] Although observation of a movement increases the excitability of the motor system of the observer, it does not induce a motor replica. What is the mechanism for replica suppression? We performed a series of ... -
Bilateral tDCS on primary motor cortex: effects on fast arm reaching tasks
Arias, Pablo; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Robles-García, Verónica; Madrid, Antonio; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier (PLoS, 2016-08-04)[Abstract] Background. The effects produced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the motor system have been widely studied in the past, chiefly focused on primary motor cortex (M1) excitability. ... -
Central fatigue induced by short-lasting finger tapping and isometric tasks: a study of silent periods evoked at spinal and supraspinal levels
Arias, Pablo; Robles-García, Verónica; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Madrid, Andy; Espinosa, Nelson; Valls-Solé, Josep; Grieve, Kenneth; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier (Elsevier, 2015-08-01)[Abstract] The neural substrates of fatigue induced by muscular activity have been addressed in depth in relation to isometric tasks. For these activities, when fatigue develops, it has been noted that the duration of the ... -
Differential responses of spinal motoneurons to fatigue induced by short-lasting repetitive and isometric tasks
Madrid, Antonio; Valls-Solé, Josep; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier; Arias, Pablo (Elsevier, 2016-10-24)[Abstract] Compared to isometric activities, the neural basis of fatigue induced by repetitive tasks has been scarcely studied. Recently, we showed that during short-lasting repetitive tasks at the maximal possible rate ... -
Effects of Fatigue Induced by Repetitive Movements and Isometric Tasks on Reaction Time
Soto-León, Vanesa; Alonso-Bonilla, Carlos; Peinado-Palomino, Diego; Torres-Pareja, Marta; Mendoza-Laiz, Nuria; Mordillo-Mateos, Laura; Onate-Figuerez, Ana; Arias, Pablo; Aguilar, Juan; Oliviero, Antonio (Elsevier, 2020-09-25)[Abstract] Purpose: The understanding of fatigue of the human motor system is important in the fields of ergonomics, sport, rehabilitation and neurology. In order to understand the interactions between fatigue and reaction ... -
Fatigue insights from walking tests in spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis individuals
Fernández-Canosa, Sara; Brocalero-Camacho, Ángela; Martínez-Medina, Alicia; Díez-Rodríguez, Eva; Arias, Pablo; Oliviero, Antonio; Soto-León, Vanesa (Springer Nature, 2024-02-27)[Abstract] In the last decade, fatigue in clinical populations has been re-conceptualized, including dimensions such as perceived fatigue (trait and state fatigue) and fatigability. The aim of this study was to evaluate ... -
Hand motor fatigability induced by a simple isometric task in spinal cord injury
Onate-Figuérez, Ana; Soto-León, Vanesa; Avendaño-Coy, Alejandro; Mordillo-Mateos, Laura; Pérez-Borrego, Yolanda A.; Redondo-Galán, Carolina; Arias, Pablo; Oliviero, Antonio (MDPI, 2022-08-30)[Abstract] This study aimed: (1) to evaluate the hand motor fatigability in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and compare it with measurements obtained form an able-bodied population; (2) to compare the hand motor ... -
Magnetic field strength and reproducibility of neodymium magnets useful for transcranial static magnetic field stimulation of the human cortex
Rivadulla, Casto; Foffani, Guglielmo; Oliviero, Antonio (Wiley, 2013-10-11)[Abstract] Objective. The application of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) in humans reduces the excitability of the motor cortex for a few minutes after the end of stimulation. However, when tSMS is ... -
Peripheral-Central Interplay for Fatiguing Unresisted Repetitive Movements: A Study Using Muscle Ischaemia and m1 Neuromodulation
Madinabeitia-Mancebo, Elena; Madrid López, Antonio; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier; Arias, Pablo (Nature Research, 2021-01-22)[Abstract] Maximal-rate rhythmic repetitive movements cannot be sustained for very long, even if unresisted. Peripheral and central mechanisms of fatigue, such as the slowing of muscle relaxation and an increase in M1-GABAb ... -
Prevalence of fatigue and associated factors in a spinal cord injury population: data from an Internet-based and face-to-face surveys
Cudeiro-Blanco, Javier; Onate-Figuérez, Ana; Soto-León, Vanesa; Avendaño-Coy, Juan; Mordillo-Mateos, Laura; Brocalero-Camacho, Ángela; Esclarín-Ruz, Ana; Rotondi, Mario; Aguilar, Juan; Arias, Pablo; Oliviero, Antonio (Mary Ann Liebert, 2017-08-01)[Abstract] Fatigue has a profound impact on patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), but only limited treatments are available. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of fatigue in SCI and its association ... -
Response of spinal excitability to different short-lasting motor tasks: preliminary results
Madrid, Antonio; Robles-García, Verónica; Valls-Solé, Josep; Corral-Bergantiños, Yoanna; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier; Arias, Pablo (Springer Nature, 2017)[Abstract] Understanding the origin of muscle fatigue is essential for optimizing neuro-rehabilitation treatments. Fatigue is tasks dependent and its neural substrates have been deeply addressed for isometric contractions. ... -
The effects of expectancy on corticospinal excitability: passively preparing to observe a movement
Arias, Pablo; Robles-García, Verónica; Espinosa, Nelson; Corral Bergantiños, Yoanna; Mordillo-Mateos, Laura; Grieve, Kenneth; Oliviero, Antonio; Cudeiro, Javier (American Physiological Society, 2014-01-08)[Abstract] The corticospinal tract excitability is modulated when preparing movements. Earlier to movement execution, the excitability of the spinal cord increases waiting for supraspinal commands to release the movement. ... -
