National Brain Mapping Laboratory will hold:

Clinical Neurophysiology Work Group

Motor control: spinal and cortical mechanisms - Scientific basis of clinical neurophysiology (Oxford Textbook of

Clinical Neurophysiology (2017))

Speaker:

Arian Karimi Rouzbahani (Medical Student at Lorestan University of Medical Sciences & Secretary General of the Student Research Committee & Manager of USERN LUMS Office)

Syllabus:

• Cortical mechanisms
• Monosynaptic and di synaptic corticospinal pathways
• Corticospinal volleys and motor evoked potentials produced by transcranial stimulation
• Cortical excitability and interneuronal mechanisms
• Plasticity of cortical mechanisms
• “Fusimotor” system
• Motoneurons, ‘monosynaptic’ reflexes, and F waves
• Motoneuron recruitment and reflex gain
• The H reflex and tendon jerk
• Disynaptic inhibition and recruitment of motoneurons into the H reflex, F waves
• Spinal mechanisms that can be tested reliably in the human subjects
• Post- activation decreases of transmission at the group Ia - synapse on the motoneuron, post-synaptic inhibition, Presynaptic inhibition of group Ia terminals on motoneurons, Group II excitation

- Propriospinal transmission of the cortical command for upper- limb movement

DATE & TIME:
Tuesday, 17 August, 2021; 19-21.
