Prolonged postexcitatory inhibition after transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex in patients with cerebellar ataxia

Postexcitatory inhibition after transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex (silent period, SP) is supposed to be predominantly mediated by the activation of inhibitory cortical interneurons. Cortical excitability seems to be reduced in patients with cerebellar ataxia. Motor threshold, cen...

description Postexcitatory inhibition after transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex (silent period, SP) is supposed to be predominantly mediated by the activation of inhibitory cortical interneurons. Cortical excitability seems to be reduced in patients with cerebellar ataxia. Motor threshold, central motor conduction time and the duration of the silent period after a single magnetic stimulus to the motor cortex on both sides were measured in five patients with cerebellar ataxia of different origin and 18 healthy controls. Duration of SP was highly significantly prolonged in patients compared with controls ( P
