Reversal of TMS-induced motor twitch by training is associated with a reduction in excitability of the antagonist muscle.

Background: A single session of isolated repetitive movements of the thumb can alter the response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), such that the related muscle twitch measured post-training occurs in the trained direction. This response is attributed to transient excitability changes in p...
