Abstract

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Evoked Potentials, Motor Motor Cortex - physiology Electromagnetic Phenomena Electric Stimulation Motor Skills - physiology Neuronal Plasticity Synapses - physiology Humans Axons - physiology Exercise - physiology Spinal Nerves - physiology
Transcranial magnetic stimulation was recently used to investigate the nature of adaptations that occur in the central nervous system in response to motor training. In this report, we provide a brief description of trancranial magnetic stimulation and discuss its potential as a tool for identifying corticospinal response to exercise.
