Contextual cues as modifiers of cTBS effects on indulgent eating
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-07)Background: Prior studies have found that continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) targeting the left dlPFC results in reliable increases in consumption of calorie-dense food items. However, it is not known to what extent ... -
The Effect of Working Memory on Corticospinal Excitability
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-26)Skilled behavior is dependent upon the ability to extract and integrate sensory afference into appropriate output from motor cortex. This process is dynamic with executive control, guided by declarative knowledge (i.e. ... -
Fluoxetine Does Not Enhance Visual Perceptual Learning and Triazolam Specifically Impairs Learning Transfer
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-19)The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine significantly enhances adult visual cortex plasticity within the rat. This effect is related to decreased gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated inhibition and identifies ... -
Influence of area 5 on primary motor cortex: a paired-pulse TMS investigation in healthy adults
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-27)The neural correlates that underpin fine motor control of the hand and their connections with the primary motor cortex (M1) require further investigation. Brodmann’s area 5 located in the superior parietal lobule (SPL) is ... -
The persistent effects of sports-related concussion during adolescence on sensorimotor integration
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-26)A history of concussion increases the risk of subsequent musculoskeletal injury. However, the exact mechanism of the increased risk of injury remains unknown. Persistent alterations in sensorimotor control during periods ...
