Age-related changes in motor cortical representation and interhemispheric interactions: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study.

Age-related changes in motor cortical representation and interhemispheric interactions: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study.

To better understand the physiological mechanisms responsible for the differential motor cortex functioning in aging, we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate interhemispheric interactions and cortical representation of hand muscles in the early phase of physiological aging, correlat...
