OBJECTIVE: To characterize the behaviour of primary motor cortex and to determine
appropriate measurement parameters for short-interval cortical inhibition (SICI) and …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to study excitability of corticospinal
neurons in human motor cortex. It is currently not fully elucidated if corticospinal neurons in …

Short interval intracortical facilitation (SICF) may be elicited by a paired pulse transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigm, whereby a suprathreshold first stimulus (S1) …

Background: Cortical function is dependent on the balance between excitatory and inhibitory
influences. In the human motor cortex, surrogates of these interactions can be measured in …

When linking in time electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve with transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS), the excitability of the motor cortex can be modulated to evoke clear …

We characterized the short-interval intracortical facilitation (SICF) via modulation of
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) induced motor evoked potentials (MEPs) using …

Short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) has been studied with paired-pulse transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) by administering two pulses at a millisecond-scale interstimulus …

Objective To characterise the effect of altering transcranial magnetic stimulation parameters
on the magnitude of interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) from dorsal premotor (PMd) to primary …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allows the testing of various inhibitory processes in
human motor cortex. Here we aimed at gaining more insight into the underlying physiology …

The activity of excitatory and inhibitory neural circuits in the motor cortex can be probed and
modified by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and repetitive TMS (rTMS) …
