TL;DR: These guidelines cover practical aspects of TMS in a clinical setting and lay out the general principles that apply to a standardized clinical examination of the fast-conducting corticomotor pathways with single-pulse TMS.

TL;DR: A new model for the interpretation of the phase spectra shows that cortical surface negative potentials are phase-locked to EMG firing, suggesting differences in their possible generator mechanisms.

TL;DR: The present data might offer a neurophysiological explanation for the clinical observation that patients with lesions of the corpus callosum may show deficits in the acquisition of novel bimanual tasks but not necessarily in the execution of previously learned bimanUAL activities.

TL;DR: The recording of somatosensory evoked magnetic fields during a stimulus strength discrimination task supports an early haptic memory mechanism in human primary sensory cortex and is consistent with the idea that SI and SII are hierarchically organized for passive and active detection of discrete stimuli.

TL;DR: It is likely that the contribution of proprioceptive input to the activation of the premotor cortex, SMA, cerebellum and basal ganglia, if any, is small, and the present results do not rule out the possibility that the cutaneous afferent input or the combination of cutaneous and proprioception input participates in theactivation of those areas during the active movement.
