Associative plasticity and afferent regulation of corticospinal excitability in uninjured individuals and after incomplete spinal cord injury
DownloadFall 2009
Cortical representations are plastic and are allocated based on the proportional use or disuse of a pathway. A steady stream of sensory input maintains the integrity of cortical networks; while in contrast, alterations in afferent activation promote sensorimotor reorganization. After an...

This thesis describes experiments designed to investigate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on corticospinal (CS) excitability in humans. NMES delivered at 100 Hz was more effective for increasing CS excitability than 10-, 50-, or 200-Hz NMES. CS excitability increases...

Spinal and Supraspinal Control of Reflexes: In health, under general anesthesia, and in Parkinson's disease
DownloadFall 2016
Reflexes have been used extensively for over a century both in the clinic and laboratory as a tool to assess functional connectivity within the spinal cord. In order to support the co-ordinated movement of muscles, the reflex arc is continuously under the influence of numerous peripheral and...
