Deep brain stimulation on the subthalamic nucleus has been used to relieve Parkinsonian motor symptoms. However, the underlying physiological mechanism has not been fully understood. Beta-band cortico-muscular coherence increases when healthy humans perform isometric contraction. We hypothesized that this might be a measure of symptomatic improvement in motor performance after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation. Here, we measured the beta-band cortico-muscular coherence with magnetoencephalography from three Parkinson's disease patients. We then compared the coherence values for stimulator on-state and off-state. We found that when the stimulator is on, the beta cortico-muscular coherence elevates significantly for the tremorous hand compared with that when the stimulator is off. This suggests that deep brain stimulation resulted in better cortico-muscular coordination.

Studies show that movement observation (MO), movement imagery (MI), or movement execution (ME) based brain-computer interface systems are promising in promoting the rehabilitation and reorganization of damaged motor function. This study was aimed to explore and compare the motor function rehabilitation mechanism among MO, MI, and ME. 64-channel electroencephalogram and 4-channel electromyogram data were collected from 39 healthy participants (25 males, 14 females; 18-23 years old) during MO, ME, and MI.

Following a stroke, compensation for the loss of ipsilesional corticospinal and corticobulbar projections, results in increased reliance on contralesional motor pathways during paretic arm movement. Better understanding outcomes of post-stroke contralesional cortical adaptation outcomes may benefit more targeted post-stroke motor rehabilitation interventions. This proof-of-concept study involves eight healthy controls and ten post-stroke participants.

Introduction: Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the human ability to align body movement rhythms with external rhythmic stimuli. While the effects of rhythmic stimuli containing only temporal information on SMS have been extensively studied, less is known about how spatial information affects SMS performance. This study investigates the neural mechanisms underlying SMS with rhythmic stimuli that include both temporal and spatial information, providing insights into the influence of these factors across different sensory modalities.

Brain-Computer Interfaces targeting post-stroke recovery of the upper limb employ mainly electroencephalography to decode movement-related brain activation. Recently hybrid systems including muscular activity were introduced. We compared the motor task discrimination abilities of three different features, namely event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS) and movement-related cortical potential (MRCP) as brain-derived features and cortico-muscular coherence (CMC) as a hybrid brain-muscle derived feature, elicited in 13 healthy subjects and 13 stroke patients during the execution/attempt of two simple hand motor tasks (finger extension and grasping) commonly employed in upper limb rehabilitation protocols.

Parkinson's Disease (PD)-typical declines in gait coordination are possibly explained by weakness in bilateral cortical and muscular connectivity. Here, we seek to determine whether this weakness and consequent decline in gait coordination is affected by dopamine levels. To this end, we compare cortico-cortical, cortico-muscular, and intermuscular connectivity and gait outcomes between body sides in people with PD under ON and OFF medication states, and in older adults.
