Corticospinal responses to motor training revealed by transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation was recently used to investigate the nature of adaptations that occur in the central nervous system in response to motor training. In this report, we provide a brief description of trancranial magnetic stimulation and discuss its potential as a tool for identifying corticospinal  response to exercise.
