Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was initially used to evaluate the integrity of the
corticospinal tract in humans non‐invasively. Since these early studies, the development of …

Activation studies in patients with aphasia due to stroke or tumours in the dominant
hemisphere have revealed effects of disinhibition in ipsilateral perilesional and in …

Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (c-tDCS) can reduce excitability of neurons
in primary motor cortex (M1) and may facilitate motor recovery after stroke. However, little is …

Brief interruption of voluntary EMG in a hand muscle by focal transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) of the ipsilateral primary motor cortex (M1), the so‐called ipsilateral silent …

Motor impairments are a major cause of morbidity and disability after stroke. This article
reviews evidence obtained using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that provides new …

OBJECTIVE: Animal studies on neurotransmitter systems that mediate interhemispheric
inhibition (IHI) suggest that,(i) callosal transmission is regulated by presynaptic GABAB …

In the human brain, homologous regions of the primary motor cortices (M1s) are connected
through transcallosal fibers. Interhemispheric communication between the two M1s plays a …

Objective A general lack of longitudinal studies on interhemispheric interactions following
stroke led us to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to examine changes in …

Short-term upper limb disuse induces a hemispheric unbalance between the primary motor
cortices (M1s). However, it is still unclear whether these changes are mainly attributable to …

Objective To assess the impact of electrode arrangement on the efficacy of tDCS in stroke
survivors and determine whether changes in transcallosal inhibition (TCI) underlie …
