Abstract

Since individuals with cerebellar lesions often exhibit hypotonia, the cerebellum may contribute to the regulation of muscle tone and spinal motoneuron pool excitability. Neurophysiological methods using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cerebellum have been recently proposed for testing the role of the cerebellum in spinal excitability. Under specific conditions, single-pulse TMS administered to the cerebellar hemisphere or vermis elicits a long-latency motor response in the upper or lower limb muscles and facilitates the H-reflex of the soleus muscle, indicating increased excitability of the spinal motoneuron pool. This literature review examined the methods and mechanisms by which cerebellar TMS modulates spinal excitability.
