Objective Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive tool used for studying
cortical excitability and plasticity in the human brain. This review aims to quantitatively …

Aging is associated with changes in the motor system that, over time, can lead to functional
impairments and contribute negatively to the ability to recover after brain damage …

Background Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation
technique. When stimulation is applied over the primary motor cortex and coupled with …

Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to assess
neurophysiology and the mechanisms of cortical brain plasticity in humans in vivo. As the …

Objective Recently, the utility of threshold tracking paired-pulse transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TTTMS), to measure changes in cortical excitabilitability, has been established …

Background Cognitive, and motor performance are reduced in aging, especially with respect
to acquisition of new knowledge, which is associated with a neural plasticity decline. Animal …

To better understand the physiological mechanisms responsible for the differential motor
cortex functioning in aging, we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate …

OBJECTIVE: To test whether the normal aging itself may change the cortical plasticity in
human. METHODS: Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were measured from 48 right-handed …

OBJECTIVE: The increase of elderly population prompted growing research for the
understanding of cerebral phenomena sustaining learning abilities, with inclusion of long …

Previous studies with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have shown that advancing
age may influence plasticity induction in human motor cortex (M1), but these changes have …
