Continuous theta-burst stimulation over the primary somatosensory cortex modulates interhemispheric inhibition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One mechanism thought to mediate hand and upper limb control across motor cortices is called interhemispheric inhibition (IHI). Somatosensory cortices are important in the motor control of the hand, although the neural mechanisms by which somatic loci act are not fully understood. In the present study, we study the possibility that the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) influences IHI as one mechanism to modulate hand control. IHI from the motor cortices was measured before and after continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) was delivered over the left-hemisphere SI. IHI was evoked using paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation and measured using electromyography electrodes over the first dorsal interosseous muscles of both hands at short (10 ms) and long (40 ms) intervals to evoke short interval IHI and long interval IHI, respectively. Measures were taken before and for up to 1 h after 600 pulse cTBS was delivered over SI. Results indicate that cTBS over SI increases short interval IHI in the left hand (i.e. ipsilateral to cTBS) for 45-60 min after stimulation. These results indicate that SI is indeed able to modify IHI, and this is therefore one neural mechanism by which SI may influence hand control.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
