Transcortical magnetic stimulator station

这个经皮质磁刺激装置将支持我的一般研究计划，该计划的重点是“寒冷引起的随意和不随意肌肉活动的减少，以及头部对体温调节和热量传递的影响。”基于先前的观察和发现，下一个周期的研究计划寻找冷对自愿和非自愿（即颤抖）肌肉运动影响的机制和功能含义。提出的配对刺激磁刺激装置将允许更详细地确定中枢神经对肌肉工作和颤抖的影响。我们目前的单脉冲磁刺激器允许对扰动（如核心或肌肉冷却）对总中央控制（即兴奋性增加，一般疲劳等）的影响进行一般结论。配对刺激磁刺激器将允许识别特定的促进和/或抑制机制，以减少随意肌肉活动或不自主颤抖的表现。

This Transcortical Magnetic Stimulation set up will support my general research program which focuses on "Cold-induced decrement in voluntary and involuntary muscle activity, and influence of the head on thermoregulation and heat transfer." Based on previous observations and discoveries, the research program for the next cycle looks for mechanisms and functional implications for the effects of cold on voluntary and involuntary (i.e., shivering) muscular exercise. The proposed paired-stimulus magnetic stimulation set up will allow more detailed determinations of central neural influences on muscular work and shivering. Our current single pulse magnetic stimulator allows general conclusions about the effect of a perturbation (such as core or muscular cooling) on the total central control (i.e., increase in excitability, general fatigue etc.). The paired-stimulus magnetic stimulator will allow the identification of specific facilitation and/or inhibitory mechanisms for the decrease in performance of voluntary muscle activity or involuntarily shivering.
