| summary | Motor imagery practice is known to improve motor learning. Less is known about the neural mechanism underlying such improvements. In the current presentation, I will focus on a new model of neural plasticity that includes three main mechanisms: i) cortical reorganization, ii) LTP-like plasticity (with reinforcement of synapse sensitivity and conductivity within implied corticospinal networks), and iii) modulation of spinal excitability (with decrease of pre-synaptic inhibition and greater sensitivity of corticomotoneuronal junction). Examples of force and speed-accuracy trade-off tasks will support these mechanisms. |
