RMT, resting motor threshold; ISI, interstimulus interval between the conditioning magnetic stimulus (CS) and the principal magnetic stimulus (S*); MEP(APB) and MEP(ADM), motor-evoked potential of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) and abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADM), respectively; CR3(APB) and CR3(ADM), amplitude of conditioning–test pulse response normalized to the amplitude of the unconditioned test response, of the APB and ADM, respectively. Black triangle, principal TMS pulse; open triangle, weak conditioning TMS pulse; grey triangle, time of arrival of afferent signals at the primary motor cortex.
