Abstract

Early and late portions of the response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in a lower limb postural muscle are modulated independently by cortical suppression, late motor evoked potentials (MEPs) being facilitated during cortical inhibition. These results suggest a cortico-brain stem transmission pathway for late portions of the TMS-induced MEP.
