From my first year of psychology I was fascinated with neural plasticity - and I am honoured to have worked on this plasticity project with @AlexBrainSel and our colleagues! We showed that TMS stimulation to increase interregional brain coupling enhances oscillatory activity.
Diminishing the influence of PMv over M1 decreased beta and theta rhythms in Go and No-Go trials, respectively. This suggests that corticocortical communication frequencies in the PMv–M1 pathway can be manipulated following Hebbian spike-timing–dependent plasticity. 8/10🧵
