## Abstract Muscle responses evoked by transcranial stimulation were studied in three patients with Wilson's disease. Abnormalities indicating involvement of corticospinal tract were demonstrated in one patient. In keeping with recent evoked potential studies, this finding suggests that lesions in
Electromyographic (EMG) responses evoked by transcranial magnetic brain stimulation were studied in nine patients with Wilson's disease (WD). Six of the nine patients had prolonged central motor latencies (CMLs), reduced amplitude, or absent responses in at least one of the examined muscles. In one
