Table 2. TMS intensities, resting corticospinal excitability and intracortical inhibition.

SICI LICI
Young Older Young Older
TS intensity (% MSO) 60 ± 1.8 61 ± 2.2 59 ± 1.8 60 ± 1.9
CS intensity (% MSO) 40 ± 1.2 40 ± 1.6 / /
tMT (% MSO) 50 ± 1.4 51 ± 2.2 / /
Unconditioned MEP in rest (mV) 1.2 ± 0.2 0.9 ± 0.08 0.8 ± 0.08 0.9 ± 0.1
Inhibition in rest (%) 71 ± 3.5 52 ± 8.0 83 ± 4.4 47 ± 10.8

Data are reported as mean ± SEM. Inhibition was calculated as follows: [1 – (MEPCS + TS / MEPTS)] * 100. CS: conditioning stimulus, LICI: long-interval intracortical inhibition, MSO: maximum stimulator output, SICI: short-interval intracortical inhibition, tMT: task motor threshold, TS: test stimulus.
