Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Brodie J Hand"
- Brodie J Hand's recent research primarily focuses on the effects of repetitive paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on motor cortex plasticity and skill acquisition, examining how variations in TMS protocols can enhance motor skills in both young and older adults.
- His studies utilize a combination of TMS and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) to explore the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying visuomotor training and to assess the excitability of motor pathways, highlighting the role of I-wave circuits in motor learning.
- Additionally, Hand investigates age-related changes in motor cortex plasticity, providing insights into how regular exercise and TMS interventions can mitigate declines in motor function associated with aging, thereby informing strategies for improving motor performance in older populations.
