Primary sensory and motor cortex excitability are co-modulated in response to peripheral electrical nerve stimulation.

Peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) is a common clinical technique known to induce changes in corticomotor excitability; PES applied to induce a tetanic motor contraction increases, and PES at sub-motor threshold (sensory) intensities decreases, corticomotor excitability. Understanding of the me...
