Schematic summary of Theta Burst Stimulation. Corticospinal excitability can be evaluated by comparing the peak-to-peak amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) recorded from a given target muscle in response to a single pulse of TMS to the primary motor cortex. Comparison of the TMS-induced MEPs at baseline and following a train of continuous theta burst stimulation (TBS) offers a measure of cortical plasticity (darker blue shaded area under the curve is a measure of LTD-like plasticity).
