Table 4_GABAergic and glutamatergic mechanisms of cortical excitability shape motor resonance during action observation as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation.xlsx

127.3 KB Excel file contains neurophysiological data from a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) study investigating motor resonance. The dataset includes motor evoked potential (MEP) measurements from the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) and abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscles during action observation tasks. It was authored by Aynur Ragimova and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between pre- and post-action observation (AO) excitability measures and task-related MEP modulation.
• Investigate the relationship between intracortical facilitation (ICF) values in ADM and ADM MEP responses during little finger movement observation.
• Examine how short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) levels in ADM relate to suppression of single-pulse (SP) induced ADM MEPs during index finger observation.
• Model the interplay between ICF and SICI protocols as indices of cortical excitation-inhibition balance on motor resonance.

Strengths

• Data is derived from established neurophysiological protocols: single-pulse (SP), intracortical facilitation (ICF), and short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) TMS.
• Includes measurements from two specific hand muscles (FDI and ADM) during observation of distinct finger movements.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC BY 4.0, facilitating reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• The dataset is small in scale at 127.3 KB, indicating a limited sample size and scope for large-scale statistical modeling.
• Specific details on the number of participants, rows, or columns are not provided, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Data is static and tied to a specific, completed study, with no indication of ongoing updates or expansion.
