Conditioning the Cortical Silent Period with Paired Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Background: A single supra-threshold pulse of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over human motor cortex elicits multiple descending volleys (I-waves) that generate a motor evoked potential (MEP) followed by a period of electromyographic silence in the tonically contracted target muscle (silent...
