Optimising Paediatric Brain Mapping with Single-Pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A New Protocol and Insights.
Background: Single-pulse paradigms of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have been used to understand cortical excitability and reorganisation.
Purpose: This study aims to develop a protocol for mapping of the primary motor cortex (M1) using single-pulse TMS in children.
Methods: A 11×11 manual grid was created around the hotspot of abductor pollicis brevis (APB). Motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude was recorded from 41 sites around the hotspot of APB and analysed.
Results: Maximum MEP amplitude was recorded from the hotspot that reduced as distance increased. Heat maps generated were consistent among the participants.
Conclusion: In children, 41 single-pulse TMS stimulations with interstimulus interval of two seconds provide reliable information about motor maps. This procedure will aid in understanding cortical reorganisation in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
