Sleep Deprivation Affects Somatosensory Cortex Excitability as Tested Through Median Nerve Stimulation

Sleep Deprivation Affects Somatosensory Cortex Excitability as Tested Through Median Nerve Stimulation

Background: Changes of cortical excitability after sleep deprivation (SD) in humans have been investigated mostly in motor cortex, while there is little empirical evidence concerning somatosensory cortex, and its plastic changes across SD. Objective: To assess excitability of primary somatosensory c...
