Putting the brain on the map: use of transcranial magnetic stimulation to assess and induce cortical plasticity of upper-extremity movement Butler AJ; Wolf SLPhys Ther 2007[Jun]; 87 (6): 719-36The plasticity of the brain is an increasingly important topic for physical therapists interested in childhood development, learning, and repair following injury. The study of plasticity directly in the human nervous system presents numerous challenges, such as the ability to assess neuronal function in vivo because of physical impediments, such as the skull, skin, and dura. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), however, has become a suitable, noninvasive, and painless technique that can be applied to detect changes in cortical excitability as an indicator of neurological changes. Furthermore, repetitive trains of TMS themselves can induce plasticity. This article discusses the use of TMS to investigate and manipulate plasticity in the human nervous system.|*Neuronal Plasticity[MESH]|*Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation[MESH]|Brain Diseases/complications/*diagnosis/physiopathology/*rehabilitation[MESH]|Brain Mapping[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Motor Cortex/physiopathology[MESH]|Movement Disorders/*diagnosis/etiology/physiopathology/*rehabilitation[MESH]|Recovery of Function[MESH]|Stroke Rehabilitation[MESH]|Upper Extremity[MESH] |
