Abstract
Soon after its introduction in the mid 1980s, TMS found widespread use in the neurosciences in general and was becoming an indispensable diagnostic tool in Neurology. By contrast, the Neurosurgical world only published two scientific papers during the 1990s on the use of TMS for the preoperative work-up of motor cortex topography [2, 8]. This was partly due to the fact that early TMS systems were yet fully developed enough to be highly accurate and easy to use, but also because TMS as a method for somatotopic mapping was not well appreciated so instead fMRI was capturing everyone’s attention as the exciting new technology of the day. There are two major sets of reasons why TMS is now being rediscovered for preoperative brain mapping: on the one hand the technology has been improved, and on the other hand the surgical community is beginning to better understand its merits relative to other technologies.
