TMS is often used to map the motor-cortex representation of the hand muscles. But does the type of stimulation matter?

Mads J Madsen, Lasse Christiansen, Hartwig Siebner and team from @DRCMR used high-resolution TMS-MRI mapping to compare the cortical motor maps produced by single-pulse (SP-TMS) or paired-pulse TMS (PP-TMS).

PP-TMS probed short-interval intracortical inhibiton (in short SICF) and inter-stimulus intervals were adjusted to match the individual first or second “SICF” peak. SP-TMS and PP-TMS produced spatially distinct yet overlapping spatial corticomotor maps, revealing that they target similar but distinct brain areas.

PP-TMS mapping resulted in a posterior shift of the motor map compared to SP-TMS, producing the strongest shift with PP-TMS at the first SICF peak. Interestingly, the longer the delay between TMS pulses for the first peak, the more the motor map moved posteriorly . This wasn’t true for the second peak.

Together, these findings offer new insights into the functional corticomotor representations within the motor hand region of the human cortex.

A magnetic therapy for depression gains precision
Approved over a decade ago, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is moderately effective. Tailoring the treatment to individual brains may improve results.
