Central and Peripheral Motor Conduction Studies by Single-Pulse Magnetic Stimulation.
Single-pulse magnetic stimulation is the simplest type of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Muscle action potentials induced by applying TMS over the primary motor cortex are recorded with surface electromyography electrodes, and they are called motor-evoked potentials (MEPs). The amplitude and latency of MEPs are used for various analyses in clinical practice and research. The most commonly used parameter is the central motor conduction time (CMCT), which is measured using motor cortical and spinal nerve stimulation. In addition, stimulation at the foramen magnum or the conus medullaris can be combined with conventional CMCT measurements to evaluate various conduction parameters in the corticospinal tract more precisely, including the cortical-brainstem conduction time, brainstem-root conduction time, cortical-conus motor conduction time, and cauda equina conduction time. The cortical silent period is also a useful parameter for evaluating cortical excitability. Single-pulse magnetic stimulation is further used to analyze not only the central nervous system but also the peripheral nervous system, such as for detecting lesions in the proximal parts of peripheral nerves. In this review article we introduce four types of single-pulse magnetic stimulation-of the motor cortex, spinal nerve, foramen magnum, and conus medullaris-that are useful for the diagnosis, elucidation of pathophysiology, and evaluation of clinical conditions and therapeutic effects. Single-pulse magnetic stimulation is a clinically useful technique that all neurologists should learn.
期刊介绍:
The JCN aims to publish the cutting-edge research from around the world. The JCN covers clinical and translational research for physicians and researchers in the field of neurology. Encompassing the entire neurological diseases, our main focus is on the common disorders including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson''s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, headache, and peripheral neuropathy. Any authors affiliated with an accredited biomedical institution may submit manuscripts of original articles, review articles, and letters to the editor. The JCN will allow clinical neurologists to enrich their knowledge of patient management, education, and clinical or experimental research, and hence their professionalism.
