Differences in dopaminergic modulation to motor cortical plasticity between Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy.

Differences in dopaminergic modulation to motor cortical plasticity between Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy.

Dopamine modulates the synaptic plasticity in the primary motor cortex (M1). To evaluate whether the functioning of the cortico-striatal circuit is necessary for this modulation, we applied a paired associative stimulation (PAS) protocol that comprised an electric stimulus to the right median nerve...
