Abstract:
Sensorimotor mu-rhythm phase modulates corticospinal excitability; however, the influence of mu-phase varies across individuals and could be related to microstructural connectivity between primary somatosensory (S1) and motor (M1) cortices. Our findings suggest that higher S1-M1 microstructural connectivity is associated with a stronger mu-phase effect on corticospinal excitability.
