The contribution of transcranial magnetic stimulation in the functional evaluation of microcircuits in human motor cortex

Although transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) activates a number of different neuron types in the cortex, the final output elicited in corticospinal neurones is surprisingly stereotyped. A single TMS pulse evokes a series of descending corticospinal volleys that are separated from each other by a...
