Intracortical facilitation within the migraine motor cortex depends on the stimulation intensity. A paired-pulse TMS study

Abstract Introduction Connectivity within the primary motor cortex can be measured using the paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigm. This evaluates the effect of a first conditioning stimulus on the motor evoked potential (MEP) elicited by a second test stimulus when different...
