Abstract
The investigations presented in this chapter lead to the conclusion that proprioceptive afferent inflow to the CNS induced by RPMS elicits various modulatory effects in sensorimotor and cognitive systems. Since the build-up of the conditioning effects is delayed and the effects itself are long-lasting, it has to be assumed that these effects are caused via neuromodulators. Therefore, the presented approach is promising to improve sensorimotor and cognitive disturbances after lesions in the CNS, e.g. after a stroke, by facilitation of reorganization.
