Transcranial magnetic stimulation was applied to localise the hand-related primary motor cortex of the left hemisphere by determining the individual resting motor threshold. After about 10 minutes of relaxed sitting, participants received single pulse TMS, delivered by a standard eight-shaped coil (MC-B70) connected to a stimulator (Medtronic MagPro, Minneapolis, USA). This was tangentially placed on the scalp of the participant, with the handle pointing backwards and laterally at about 45 degree away from the midline. The target site was marked with a marker pen on the skin of the participant’s head.

The MagPro is a laboratory equipment product designed for magnetic stimulation. It generates magnetic fields used for various research and clinical applications. The device's core function is to produce controlled magnetic pulses, but its specific intended use requires further information that is not available in this concise description.

Medtronic Keypoint (Medtronic Inc., Skovlunde, Denmark) was used for electromyographic examinations, and Magpro (Medtronic Inc.) was used for magnetic stimulation. MEP was measured in the first dorsal interossei (FDI), biceps brachii (BB) and deltoid (Del). The international 10-20 system was used for mapping the locations of stimulation. The optimal stimulation coordinate was selected if MEP of 50 µV or more was induced at least 5 times from over 10 stimulations at the lowest excitation threshold. Latency and amplitude were obtained by averaging the values from four stimulations at 120% of excitation threshold at the optimal stimulation coordinate. Central motor conduction time (CMCT) was defined as the difference between MEP latency and MEP latency induced from cervical magnetic stimulation [19 (link)]. We used normal values of healthy adults reported in previous studies as reference [20 (link)].
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
