A principal role of the brain is to guide current, and plan future, movements based on past actions and potential rewards. In this talk, I will describe ongoing work in our lab employing multiple approaches to investigate the functional contributions of brain activity to normal and abnormal human movement. I will discuss how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, can be used both characterize and modulate cortical activity and connectivity during movement. I will also describe our recent findings showing abnormal TMS-evoked cortical reactivity post-stroke that is related to persistent paretic arm impairment. Lastly, I will discuss preliminary work applying alternative perturbation paradigms to study brain-behavior relationships in health and disease.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Perturbation-Imaging Approaches to Study Functional Contributions of Cortical Activity to Human Movement\u0022 - Michael Borich, D.P.T., Ph.D. - Emory University School of Medicine"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2019-09-18 14:33:15","changed_gmt":"2019-09-18 14:37:42","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-09-30T12:15:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-09-30T13:15:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-09-30T13:15:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-09-30 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-09-30 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-09-30 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.neuro.gatech.edu","title":"GT Neuro"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.rehabmed.emory.edu\/faculty.bios\/borich-michael.html","title":"Borich profile"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
