    • Deep sleep maintains learning efficiency of the human brain 

      RUDDY, KATHY; Fattinger, Sara; de Beukelaar, Toon T.; Volk, Carina; Heyse, Natalie C.; Herbst, Joshua A.; Hahnloser, Richard H.R.; Wenderoth, Nicole; Huber, Reto (2017)
      It is hypothesized that deep sleep is essential for restoring the brain’s capacity to learn efficiently, especially in regions heavily activated during the day. However, causal evidence in humans has been lacking due to ...

    • Improving the quality of combined EEG-TMS neural recordings: Introducing the Coil Spacer 

      RUDDY, KATHY; Woolley, Daniel Graham; Mantini, Dante; Balsters, Joshua; Enz, Nadja; Wenderoth, Nicole (2018)
      Background: In the last decade, interest in combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) approaches has grown substantially. Aside from the obvious artifacts induced by the magnetic ...

    • Interhemispheric sensorimotor integration; an upper limb phenomenon? 

      RUDDY, KATHY; Jaspers, Ellen; Keller, Martin; Wenderoth, Nicole (2016)
      Somatosensory information from the limbs reaches the contralateral Primary Sensory Cortex (S1) with a delay of 23 ms for finger, and 40 ms for leg (somatosensory N20/N40). Upon arrival of this input in the cortex, motor ...

    • Neural Adaptations Associated with Interlimb Transfer in a Ballistic Wrist Flexion Task 

      CARSON, RICHARD; RUDDY, KATHY; Rudolf, Anne K.; Kalkman, Barbara; King, Maedbh; Daffertshofer, Andreas; Carroll, Timothy J. (2016)
      Cross education is the process whereby training of one limb gives rise to increases in the subsequent performance of its opposite counterpart. The execution of many unilateral tasks is associated with increased excitability ...

    • Neural circuitry underlying sustained attention in healthy adolescents and in ADHD symptomatology 

      BOKDE, ARUN; KELLY, CLARE; RUDDY, KATHY; WHELAN, ROBERT; O'Halloran, Laura; Cao, Zhipeng; Jollans, Lee; Albaugh, Matthew D.; Aleni, Andrea; Potter, Alexandra S.; Vahey, Nigel; Banaschewski, Tobias; Hohmann, Sarah; Bromberg, Uli; Büchel, Christian; Burke Quinlan, Erin; Desrivieres, Sylvane; Flor, Herta; Frouin, Vincent; Gowland, Penny; Heinz, Andreas; Ittermann, Bernd; Nees, Frauke; Papadopoulos Orfanos, Dimitri; Paus, Tomáš; Smolka, Michael N.; Walter, Henrik; Schumann, Gunter; Garavan, Hugh (2017)
      Moment-to-moment reaction time variability on tasks of attention, often quantified by intra-individual response variability (IRV), provides a good indication of the degree to which an individual is vulnerable to lapses in ...

    • Repetitive reaching training combined with transcranial Random Noise Stimulation in stroke survivors with chronic and severe arm paresis is feasible: a pilot, triple-blind, randomised case series 

      CARSON, RICHARD; RUDDY, KATHY; Hayward, Kathryn S.; Brauer, Sandra G.; Lloyd, David (2017)
      Background: Therapy that combines repetitive training with non-invasive brain stimulation is a potential avenue to enhance upper limb recovery after stroke. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of transcranial ...

    • Structural and functional cortical connectivity mediating cross education of motor function 

      CARSON, RICHARD; RUDDY, KATHY; Leemans, Alexander; Woolley, Daniel Graham; Wenderoth, Nicole (2017)
      Cross-education (CE) is the process whereby training with one limb leads to subsequent improvement in performance by the opposite untrained limb. We used multimodal neuroimaging in humans to investigate the mediating neural ...

    • Transcallosal connectivity of the human cortical motor network 

      CARSON, RICHARD; RUDDY, KATHY; Leemans, Alexander (2017)
      The organisational and architectural configuration of white matter pathways connecting brain regions has ramifications for all facets of the human condition, including manifestations of incipient neurodegeneration. Although ...
