Reproducibility of the effects of theta burst stimulation on motor cortical plasticity in healthy participants
2014
Objective
Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) is a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol, capable of enhancing or suppressing the amplitude of contralateral motor-evoked potentials (MEP) for several minutes after stimulation over the primary motor cortex. Continuous TBS (cTBS) produces a long-term depression (LTD)-like reduction of cortical excitability. The purpose of this study was to assess the test–retest reproducibility of the effects of cTBS and to investigate which neurophysiologic markers of cTBS-induced plasticity are most reproducible.
