PAS has been designed to drive cortical LTP/LTD according to the Hebbian rule of associative plasticity. Over the last two decades, a growing number of researchers have increasingly used the PAS technique to assess cortical associative plasticity in healthy humans and in patients with movement disorders and other neuropsychiatric diseases. The present review covers the physiology, pharmacology, pathology and motor effects of PAS. Further sections of the review focus on new protocols of "modified PAS" and possible future application of PAS in neuromorphic circuits designed for brain-computer interface. date: 2017-11 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinph.2017.08.003 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1426462 doi: 10.1016/j.clinph.2017.08.003 pii: S1388-2457(17)30920-3 language_elements: eng lyricists_name: Rothwell, John lyricists_id: JCROT52 full_text_status: public publication: Clin Neurophysiol volume: 128 number: 11 pagerange: 2140-2164 event_location: Netherlands issn: 1872-8952 citation: Suppa, A; Quartarone, A; Siebner, H; Chen, R; Di Lazzaro, V; Del Giudice, P; Paulus, W; ...
