Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) mapping was performed regularly on 11 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Map area decreased by 25% (P = 0.03) and normalized volume decreased by 47% (P = 0.01) in those patients who were mapped four times over a period of 11.6 months. The cente

## Abstract Little is known about the possible link between cortical and spinal motor neuron dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We correlated the characteristics of the responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with the electromechanical properties and firing pattern of
We have used peristimulus time histograms to study how paired, transcranial magnetic stimulation alters the firing of single motor units and the magnitude of unitary excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) recorded from the extensor digitorum communis muscle. With stimulus intensity at threshold
