Zusammenfassung
Facial mapping by navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS)1–6 is often limited by direct stimulation effects of facial and trigeminal nerve fibres. Short latency MEPs recorded during mapping of the face and tongue area by nTMS may lead to false-positive results. We therefore analyzed MEP latencies in a preclinical trial. Methods: We examined 10 healthy, right-handed subjects (5f/5m; age 24–34) on three days by single pulse nTMS. NTMS was applied at the dominant primary motor cortex at 110% of the resting motor threshold (RMT) using eXimia 3.2.2. MEPs were recorded from the abductor pollicis brevis musc…
