The technique of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows cortical motor areas to be activated by trains of magnetic stimuli at different frequencies and intensities. In this paper, we studied longterm neurophysiological effects of rTMS delivered to the motor cortex at 5 Hz with an

Transcranial magnetic brain stimuli were applied to 9 normal subjects and compound muscle action potentials were recorded from the right abductor digiti minimi with surface electrodes. Vibration of 120 Hz, 0.6 mm peak to peak amplitude, applied to the muscle tendon enhanced its responses to magnetic
