BDNF Val66Met polymorphism is associated with altered activity-dependent modulation of short-interval intracortical inhibition in bilateral M1.
The BDNF Val66Met polymorphism is associated with impaired short-term plasticity in the motor cortex, short-term motor learning, and intermanual transfer of a procedural motor skill. Here, we investigated the impact of the Val66Met polymorphism on the modulation of cortical excitability and interhem...

| description | The BDNF Val66Met polymorphism is associated with impaired short-term plasticity in the motor cortex, short-term motor learning, and intermanual transfer of a procedural motor skill. Here, we investigated the impact of the Val66Met polymorphism on the modulation of cortical excitability and interhemispheric inhibition through sensorimotor practice of simple dynamic skills with the right and left first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscles. To that end, we compared motor evoked potentials (MEP) amplitudes and short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) in the bilateral representations of the FDI muscle in the primary motor cortex (M1), and interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) from the left to right M1, before and after right and left FDI muscle training in an alternated sequence. Val66Met participants did not differ from their Val66Val counterparts on motor performance at baseline and following motor training, or on measures of MEP amplitude and IHI. However, while the Val66Val group displayed significant SICI reduction in the bilateral M1 in response to motor training, SICI remained unchanged in the Val66Met group. Further, Val66Val group's SICI decrease in the left M1, which was also observed following unimanual training with the right hand in the Control Right group, was correlated with motor improvement with the left hand. The potential interaction between left and right M1 activity during bimanual training and the implications of altered activity-dependent cortical excitability on short-term motor learning in Val66Met carriers are discussed. |
