Abstract
Using transcranial magnetic (TMS) stimulation it is possible stimulate the human brain painless non-invasively. TMS is established for the examination of the corticospinal system in adults and is increasingly used in children. Studies showing the maturation of central motor conduction time, the intracortical inhibition, interhemispheral inhibition and the postexcitatory silent period. Furthermore, TMS studies increased our understanding of the pathophysiology of cerebral palsy, attention deficit syndrome, tic disorders and is increasingly used in presurgical diagnostic in epilepsy.
