Published: March 2000

The fact that TMS of cerebral cortex is associated with inhibitory as well as excitatory properties is important because it makes it possible to investigate interconnections between cortical areas and tracing these functional interconnections by a noninvasive excitation or inhibition and temporary interference with the flow of impulses in the cerebral cortex. An important tool is thereby added to the analysis of higher cortical functions.
