Correlations between white matter and TMS effects showed i) reduced TMS effects associated with the microstructural properties of long-range white matter pathways such as the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), and interhemispheric fibers of the corpus callosum (CC), and ii) increased TMS effects in participants with high integrity of the CC connecting the stimulated region with the opposite hemisphere.

Techniques such as intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) are robust, but can be time consuming and invasive, making them non-ideal for cortex-wide mapping or longitudinal studies. In contrast, optogenetic motor mapping offers a rapid and minimally invasive technique, enabling mapping with high spatiotemporal resolution.
