The Effects of Motor Cortical Stimulation on the Excitability of Spinal Motoneurons in Man
Abstract
The pyramidal tract and particularly the direct cortico-motoneuronal components (DCM) have become increasingly important in the higher primates. Minimal single pulse precentral stimulation in man evokes EMG discharges from the contralateral hand muscles with a latency of 18-21 milliseconds. The excitability changes produced by such cortical stimulation on the upper limb H-reflex has been observed to include a short duration early facilitation …
