The prefrontal cortex plays an important role in central motor control. We have examined whether prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) induces changes of motor cortex excitability determined by motor evoked potentials (MEPs) following single-pulse TMS. We studied 18 healthy

We devised a method to investigate the cortical organization of corticomotoneurons (CMs) to upper limb muscles. A spike-triggering technique was used, in which a tonically discharging single motor unit (SMU) triggered transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of motor cortex, and the probability of pr
We have examined the conduction pathways of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation, and their correlation with locomotor function in rats. MEPs were concomitantly recorded from the spinal cord (sMEPs) and the limb muscles (mMEPs) before and after various spinal
