Biological sex differences in afferent-mediated inhibition of motor responses evoked by TMS

Sensorimotor integration can be assessed by pairing electrical peripheral nerve stimulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The resulting afferent inhibition is observed when TMS precedes nerve stimulation by ∼ 20-25 ms, termed short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI), or by 200 ms, termed long-latency afferent inhibition (LAI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether biological sex influences the magnitude of SAI or …
