Inter-individual variation in the efficient stimulation site for magnetic brainstem stimulation

Highlights ► We have refined the examination protocol of magnetic brainstem stimulation (BST). ► We revealed that ipsilateral stimulation elicits larger motor evoked potentials (MEPs) than the conventional inion stimulation in nearly two-thirds of healthy subjects. ► Our method will be also benefici...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► We have refined the examination protocol of magnetic brainstem stimulation (BST). ► We revealed that ipsilateral stimulation elicits larger motor evoked potentials (MEPs) than the conventional inion stimulation in nearly two-thirds of healthy subjects. ► Our method will be also beneficial to the procedure of cerebellar inhibition (CBI).
