Dynamic Course of Intracortical TMS Paired-Pulse Responses During Recovery of Motor Function After Stroke

Abstract
Background. Recovery of motor function after stroke may be associated with changes in inhibitory and facilitatory circuits within the motor cortex. Objective. We explored such changes longitudinally after stroke, using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Methods. Subjects ( N = 27) with a single cerebral infarction affecting movement of either hand were studied at
