TI  - Intracortical inhibition and facilitation in paired-pulse transcranial magnetic 
      stimulation: effect of conditioning stimulus intensity on sizes and latencies of 
      motor evoked potentials.
PG  - 54-8
AB  - The influence of the intensity of the conditioning stimulus on intracortical 
      inhibition (ICI) and intracortical facilitation (ICF) was assessed in a study 
      using paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation. Interstimulus intervals 
      (ISIs) between conditioning and test stimuli were 3 msec and 13 msec. Latencies 
      and areas of motor evoked potentials in response to the test stimulus were 
      measured in the right extensor carpi radialis muscle. Motor evoked potential 
      areas with ISIs of 3 msec and 13 msec showed a different dependence on the 
      intensity of the conditioning stimulus. In contrast, the changes of motor evoked 
      potential latencies were fairly similar with both ISIs. The findings point to a 
      parallel action of ICI and ICF. Furthermore, the latencies seem to be a more 
      sensitive indicator for ICF action than the size parameters of motor evoked 
      potentials.
