Reliability of Motor Evoked Potentials Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: The Effects of Initial Motor Evoked Potentials Removal
Introduction: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a useful tool for assessment of corticospinal excitability (CSE) changes in both healthy individuals and patients with brain disorders. The usefulness of TMS-elicited motor evoked potentials (MEPs) for the assessment of CSE in a clinical context depends on their intra-and inter-session reliability. This study aimed to evaluate if removal ...
متن کاملDoes the Longer Application of Anodal-Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Increase Corticomotor Excitability Further? A Pilot Study
Introduction: Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) has been shown to be effective in increasing corticomotor excitability. Methods: We investigated whether longer applications of a-tDCS coincide with greater increases in corticomotor excitability compared to shorter application of a-tDCS. Ten right-handed healthy participants received one se...
متن کاملInter-pulse Interval Affects the Size of Single-pulse TMS-induced Motor Evoked Potentials: a Reliability Study
Introduction: Measuring the size of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an investigational technique to show the level of corticospinal excitability however, some of the fundamental methodological aspects of TMS (such as the effects of inter-pulse intervals (IPI) on MEP size) are not fully understood, this issue raises concerns about the re...
متن کاملACNS Guideline: Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Motor Evoked Potential Monitoring.
Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) are electrical signals recorded from neural tissue or muscle after activation of central motor pathways. They complement other clinical neurophysiology techniques, such as somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs), in the assessment of the nervous system, especially during intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM). Somatosensory evoked potentials directly ass...
متن کاملHEAVEN: The Frankenstein effect
The HEAVEN head transplant initiative needs human data concerning the acute restoration of motor transmission after application of fusogens to the severed cord in man. Data from two centuries ago prove that a fresh cadaver, after hanging or decapitation, can be mobilized by electrical stimulation for up to 3 hours. By administering spinal cord stimulation by applied paddles to the cord or trans...
متن کاملSuprahyoid muscles motor evoked potentials in response to transcranial magnetic stimulation.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to reveal whether corticobulbar projection to the suprahyoid muscles (SHM) is contralateral or bilateral. METHODS Thirty-nine healthy subjects between 27 and 77 years of age participated. All subjects underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in both cerebral hemispheres using surface EMG recording in bilateral SHM. One subject underwent TMS i...
