Effect of racial background on motor cortical function as measured by threshold tracking transcranial magnetic stimulation
Keyword(s):
Threshold tracking transcranial magnetic stimulation (TT-TMS) was applied for Caucasians, Han Chinese, and Japanese. No significant differences were found in TMS excitability indexes among races. Recent studies have disclosed that TT-TMS indexes differentiate amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) from ALS mimic disorders, with high sensitivity and specificity, in Caucasians. This study suggested that TT-TMS can be applied for the ALS diagnosis in Asian patients, as well as Caucasians.
