| Abstract: | AbstractSeventeen subjects underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) toward cortical mapping. Cortical mapping produced scalp representations of five upper extremity muscles and their spatial orientation tended to support an expected anatomic pattern. Muscle map locations and map areas showed trends across musical skill and hand dominance as well. No subject experienc.ed adverse effects during the study. TMS promises to be an effective tool for noninvasive cortical mapping. [Neural Res 1997; 19: 435-440] |
