| Research Abstract |
Adaptation to a novel dynamical environment accompanies changes of neuronal activities in the primary motor cortex. Here, we investigated the changes resulting from the motor adaptation in human corticospinal excitability thatreflects more macroscopic activity level of the primary motor cortex. We found that the coticospinal excitability exhibited directional tuning property and the preferred direction. The tuning pattern after the adaptation shifted depending on the direction of force field. The corticospinal excitability was systematically modulated depending on the adapted environment and the performed behavior contexts.
