▼ The primary motor cortex (M1) can dynamically control the magnitude of motor refinement through motor plasticity. Plasticity can be investigated by looking at changes to motor excitability, which has been established to be stronger in the non-dominant hemisphere of right handed participants. However, it is unclear if these differences in excitability following a training task would still be present if participants performed a task that was equally as difficult for both the dominant and non-dominant hands. Thus, the first goal of this thesis was to develop and validate a novel motor training task designed to be equally challenging for both hands. Participants were required to trace a novel sinusoidal pattern, varying in both amplitude and frequency that was mirrored in both the right and left hand. The time course of learning was plotted over two separate training sessions. The second study then utilized this task to answer the question of which hemisphere has a greater plastic potential, determine by quantifying changes motor excitability, and the time-course over which these changes occur. Motor cortical excitability before and after learning was investigated using recruitment curves which evoke MEPs at 7 different stimulation intensities in order to better capture a more robust measure of hemispheric excitability for both the left and right hand. The training task was indeed novel as it equally challenged both the dominant and non-dominant hands of a healthy right handed population and lead to remarkably similar learning curves over six blocks of learning and similar retention. In the second study, only the dominant hemisphere had significant decreases in excitability following the motor learning task. A secondary study indicated that the time-course over which these changes occurs suggests that when learning a novel training task which the participant is na??ve to, motor training and increases to performance have a rapid onset as changes to excitability were only seen on the first day of training. This may indicate that even though the non-dominant hemisphere has greater initial excitability, the dominant hemisphere has a greater ability to modulate excitability levels showing a greater potential for plastic adaption.

▼ Depression is one of the top ten health problems in the world, affecting millions of Canadians. Research indicates that exercise is an effective treatment for depression but it is not clear on exactly how and why it works. Animal studies show that exercise improves the ability of the brain to function. It can even lead to new cell formation in a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is important for memory processing. This study is investigating whether exercise may also improve hippocampal function in depressed humans. One way exercise may improve brain function is by normalizing levels of the hormone cortisol, and its toxic effects on the hippocampus. Exercise may also normalize levels of biochemical markers called cytokines involved in inflammation, while improving levels of growth factors important to brain cell function. This feasibility study aimed to develop protocols to investigate changes in hippocampal activity while participants are performing memory tests involving association of images and words in a functional magnetic resonance scanner before and after a 12 week exercise program. It also aimed to develop and validate protocols to measure changes in cortisol, cytokines and growth factors which are likely to be affected by exercise. Our preliminary imaging results revealed hippocampal dysregulation in the depressed brain, and biomarker analysis revealed abnormal concentrations of interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor and salivary cortisol when compared to normal healthy controls. However, following the 12-week exercise program a more normalized pattern of hippocampal activation associated with successful memory encoding was observed. Additionally, biomarker concentrations either resembled or were closer to normal healthy values. Over the long term, the project arising from this feasibility study has the potential to provide a tool to improve exercise prescription, to predict exercise responders and to guide development of combined treatment approaches related to biochemical markers in order to optimize depression outcomes for Canadians.

▼ Sensorimotor integration (SMI) is the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to integrate afferent (incoming) information from different body parts and formulate appropriate motor output to muscles. Effective sensorimotor integration is essential when learning new skills and when performing tasks at home and in the workplace (Rothwell &Rosenkranz, 2005). The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate the effect of acute experimental pain on sensorimotor processing. The primary outcome is the effect of acute experimental pain on somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) peaks. Secondary outcomes include the effect of pain on motor performance and the interactive effect of pain and motor training on SEP peaks. As expected for the placebo condition, no significant differences were found in any of the post-placebo peaks. Contrary to what was expected for the placebo condition, the only peak to be significantly different post-motor learning was the N24 peak. Contrary to what was expected, there were no significant differences for any of the peaks following capsaicin application. One of the secondary outcomes was the interactive effect of pain and motor learning on SEP peaks. The only peak to show any significant differences post-intervention/post-motor learning was the N24 peak. Another secondary outcome was the effect of pain on motor performance. In terms of accuracy, no significant differences were found for either condition following motor learning. However, the data does show a trend towards improved accuracy for the subjects in the intervention group while the subjects in the placebo show a trend towards decreased accuracy. As expected, there was a significant decrease in reaction time for both conditions post-motor learning. However, contrary to what was expected, reaction time decreased to a greater extent in the intervention condition as compared to the placebo condition. It was anticipated that the reaction time would decrease to a greater extent in the placebo condition as it was hypothesized that pain would negatively impact motor performance. It is suspected that the effect of the pain induced by the capsaicin made the motor training task more difficult and participants would have had to focus greater attentional resources to learn the task which lead to the enhanced performance following motor training.

▼ This thesis investigated whether acute experimental pain interacts with motor learning acquisition to create adaptive and maladaptive changes in neural function. The first study consisted of two experiments where we determined the interactive effects of acute pain versus control (Experiment 1) and local versus remote acute pain (Experiment 2) on motor learning and sensorimotor processing and provided supportive evidence for early somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) peaks as markers for sensorimotor integration (SMI) and acute pain. Motor performance was better in the presence of pain pre-motor learning and motor learning retention improved in the presence of local pain. A limitation of this first study was that performance saturation occurred and therefore we used a more complex tracing task for the subsequent studies. Our second SEP study The interactive effect of acute pain and motor learning acquisition on sensorimotor integration and motor learning outcomes provides corroboration for the enhancement of motor learning while in acute pain. In addition, the changes in the amplitudes of SEP peaks suggests that SEP peak alterations reflect neurophysiological alterations accompanying both motor learning acquisition and mild acute pain. Improved motor learning acquisition during acute pain may be the result of increased attention or increased arousal, and therefore we concluded that it was important to compare the effects of local versus remote versus contralateral acute pain in conjunction with a complex motor learning task which was the focus of the third study. Our third study found that motor learning occurred in the presence of mild acute pain and there were no significant differences in motor learning acquisition or retention between three groups that had capsaicin applied at different locations. We hypothesized that improved motor learning acquisition during acute pain may have been caused through increased arousal. For the fourth study we explored the effect of acute pain on neuroplasticity of the motor cortex (MI) by using input-output curves elicited via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The acute pain in this study was shown to negate the increase in slope that was observed for the control group despite having a positive impact on motor learning acquisition.

▼ Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disease characterized by low mood, memory deficits, poor sleep quality and alterations in biochemical markers associated with neuroplasticity. Less than half of MDD patients receive an efficacious treatment, warranting the need for novel treatment strategies. Exercise as an add-on therapy is a promising approach shown to improve mood, however, its mechanism of action remains unknown. To advance our understanding of the mechanisms by which exercise affects brain function this thesis studied both healthy and MDD individuals. Study One used a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) subsequent memory paradigm to investigate the effects of an eight-week exercise intervention on neural function in healthy and MDD groups. FMRI results showed significant deactivation in the hippocampus and across several memory-associated regions in both groups suggesting a potential increase in neural efficiency. Study Two evaluated exercise as an add-on to antidepressant medication (ADM) and cognitive behavioural group therapy (CBGT) for MDD. Exercise led to a robust decrease in depression scores (p=0.007, d=2.06), with 75% of the patients achieving either response or remission compared to 25% of those who received ADM and CBGT only. Exercise also led to greater improvements in sleep quality (p=0.046, d=1.28), cognitive function (p=0.046, d=1.08) and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), p=0.003, d=6.46. Furthermore, BDNF was positively correlated with improvements in depression (p=0.002, R2 = 0.50) and sleep quality (p=0.011, R2 = 0.38). Study Three found that exercise for healthy, young adults did not improve cognitive performance or biomarkers, despite the neural changes seen in the fMRI study. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that exercise promotes neuroplasticity in both healthy and MDD patients, substantially improving mood and cognitive performance in MDD. Plasma BDNF levels and sleep quality appear to be good indicators of treatment response and potential biomarkers associated with the clinical recovery of MDD.
