Acute intermittent hypoxia enhances corticospinal synaptic plasticity in humans

Acute intermittent hypoxia enhances corticospinal synaptic plasticity in humans

Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) enhances voluntary motor output in humans with central nervous system damage. The neural mechanisms contributing to these beneficial effects are unknown. We examined corticospinal function by evaluating motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by cortical and subcorti...
