The Basis of Variability in Magnitude of the Response of Muscles to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Motor Cortex in Man

  • Chapter

Abstract

The magnitude of the compound motor evoked potential (cMEP) response of skeletal muscles to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in man may show a high degree of variability (Davey, Ellaway, Maskill, Anissimova, Rawlinson & Thomas, 1994). The variability occurs despite using a constant stimulating intensity and the efforts of the operator to maintain a constant stimulating coil position over the cranium. We have now investigated the basis of this variability.
