The effect of voluntary contraction on cortico‐cortical inhibition in human motor cortex.
Open accessAbstract
1. It has been previously shown that in a relaxed target muscle, at short interstimulus intervals (ISIs) (up to 6 ms) a conditioning subthreshold transcranial magnetic stimulus can cause suppression of the EMG response evoked by a magnetic test stimulus. At longer ISIs (7‐15 ms) facilitation of the test response is seen. This type of inhibition has been termed ipsilateral cortico‐cortical inhibition. 2. The effect of a minimal tonic contraction on ipsilateral cortico‐cortical inhibition has been investigated in the first dorsal interrosseous (FDI). 3. At short ISIs there was significantly less inhibition of the test response during the maintenance of minimal voluntary tonic contraction of the target muscle (FDI). 4. At longer ISIs (7‐15 ms) there was significantly less facilitation of the test response during a tonic contraction than during relaxation. 5. Minimal activation of an ipsilateral proximal muscle (biceps) had no significant effect on the degree of inhibition seen in the relaxed target muscle (FDI). 6. We suggest that voluntary drive reduces the excitability of inhibitory circuits in cortical areas that project to the active muscle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
