cord-103554-11avjsqu	Davies, Jennifer L	Using transcranial magnetic stimulation to map the cortical representation of lower-limb muscles	2019-10-17		.txt	text/plain	5335	288	56	The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can identify discrete cortical representation of lower-limb muscles in healthy individuals. The results of this study indicate that TMS delivered with a 110-mm double-cone coil could not reliably identify discrete cortical representations of resting lower-limb muscles when responses were measured using bipolar surface electromyography. Cortical representation was 4 mapped for seven resting lower-limb muscles involved in control of the knee joint (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, medial hamstring, lateral hamstring, medial gastrocnemius, and lateral gastrocnemius) and was quantified using size, CoG, hotspot and number of discrete peaks. The current results indicate bipolar surface EMG used with TMS delivered through a doublecone coil cannot reliably identify discrete cortical representation of lower-limb muscles in young, healthy individuals. The results of this study indicate that TMS delivered with a 110-mm double-cone coil cannot reliably identify discrete cortical representations of resting lower-limb muscles when MEPs are measured using bipolar surface EMG.	./cache/cord-103554-11avjsqu.txt	./txt/cord-103554-11avjsqu.txt
