FMRI and kinematic dataset for investigating neuroplasticity with function-specific rTMS.

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Rehabilitation Science
• Motor Control

Background:

• Motor learning and rehabilitation benefit from understanding neuroplasticity.
• Investigating targeted brain stimulation and its effects on motor adaptation is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a multimodal dataset for studying neuroplasticity and motor adaptation.
• To enable research on the impact of different interventions on motor learning and brain function.

Main Methods:

• Collected longitudinal data from 46 healthy adults performing a shot put task.
• Utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for brain activity mapping.
• Applied repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and physical training interventions.

Main Results:

• The dataset includes resting-state and task-based fMRI, stimulation coordinates, and kinematic data.
• Enables analysis of brain network changes and motor performance improvements.
• Facilitates research on targeted neuromodulation effects.

Conclusions:

• The dataset provides a reproducible resource for neuroplasticity and motor rehabilitation research.
• Supports studies on precise brain stimulation and its role in motor adaptation.
• Advances understanding of how interventions like rTMS influence motor learning.
