文摘
- •
MEPs amplitude evoked by TMS is an indirect measure of corticospinal excitability.
- •
Single TMS pulses, delivered at random or fixed inter-trial interval (ITI), induce cumulative changes in neural activity.
- •
Temporal summation of neuronal depolarisation induced by several single TMS pulses increases MEPs amplitude.
