Corticocortical inhibition in human motor cortex.

TL;DR: In ten normal volunteers, a transcranial magnetic or electric stimulus that was subthreshold for evoking an EMG response in relaxed muscles was used to condition responses evoked by a later, suprathreshold magnetic orElectric test shock to suggest that the suppression was produced by an action on cortical, rather than spinal excitability.
Journal ArticleDOI

'Excitability' changes of muscular responses to magnetic brain stimulation in patients with central motor disorders

TL;DR: In this paper, the "excitability" and "conductivity" of motor pathways during transcranial stimulation (TCS) have been investigated in 49 patients affected by multiple sclerosis (34), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (7), spino-cerebellar ataxia (3), primary lateral sclerosis and brain metastasis (1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-related changes of motor evoked potentials in healthy humans: non-invasive evaluation of central and peripheral motor tracts excitability and conductivity.

TL;DR: It was found that threshold values of magnetic TCS were significantly higher in the elderly than in the young subjects, whilst the propagation time along the central motor tracts did not parallel such an age-related trend.
