Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe, noninvasive brain evaluation tool. It assesses motor pathways, brain plasticity, and cortical excitability, offering insights for neurorehabilitation and neurological conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a recent, safe, and noninvasive technique.
  • It offers a painless and inexpensive method for brain function evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of TMS in assessing corticospinal pathways via central motor conduction time (CMCT).
  • To explore TMS for investigating cortical reorganization and human plasticity.
  • To assess TMS for evaluating cortical excitability and its implications in neurological disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing TMS to determine central motor conduction time (CMCT).
  • Mapping the central representation of muscles.
  • Employing TMS to evaluate cortical excitability.
