• Excitatory and inhibitory neural processes interact during motor imagery, as the motor regions are activated but no movement is produced.• The current study investigated the extent of short interval intracortical inhibition modulation (SICI) during motor imagery. • When using optimal settings, SICI increased during motor imagery, likely to prevent the production of an overt movement..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
