Corticospinal excitability preceding the grasping of emotion-laden stimuli.

Corticospinal excitability preceding the grasping of emotion-laden stimuli.

Evolutionary theories posit that emotions prime organisms for action. This study examined whether corticospinal excitability (CSE) is modulated by the emotional valence of a to-be-grasped stimulus. CSE was estimated based on the amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited using transcranial...
