Modulation of corticospinal excitability during positive and negative motor imageries.

Abstract:

:We investigated corticospinal excitability during positive (execution) and negative (suppression) imageries for the right and left upper and lower limbs. In the Positive Imagery tasks, sixteen subjects were instructed to repeatedly imagine rotation of the index finger of the right or left hand, or the ankle of the right or left foot. In the Negative Imagery tasks, they were asked to imagine the suppression of movements for the index finger of the right or left hand, or the ankle of the right or left foot. A single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation was delivered over the left hand primary motor cortex, and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were recorded from the right first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle under all conditions. The MEP amplitudes of the FDI were significantly larger in the Positive and Negative Imagery tasks than in the resting control task during motor imagery of the right hand, left hand, and left foot, but not during that of right foot. Our results indicate that imageries of suppressing hand and foot movements enhanced corticospinal excitability.
