Induction of plasticity in the human motor cortex by pairing an auditory stimulus with TMS

Induction of plasticity in the human motor cortex by pairing an auditory stimulus with TMS

Acoustic stimuli can cause a transient increase in the excitability of the motor cortex. The current study leverages this phenomenon to develop a method for testing the integrity of auditorimotor integration and the capacity for auditorimotor plasticity. We demonstrate that appropriately timed trans...
