liikeärsykkeiden
Liikeärsykkeet, also known as motor evoked potentials (MEPs), are electrical signals recorded from muscles in response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or electrical stimulation of the motor cortex. This technique is a non-invasive method used in neurophysiology to assess the integrity and function of the corticospinal tract, which connects the brain's motor areas to the spinal cord and then to the muscles.
The procedure involves applying a magnetic pulse or electrical current to a specific area of the scalp
The amplitude and latency of the MEP provide valuable information. A reduced amplitude can indicate damage
Liikeärsykkeitä are employed in clinical settings for diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions affecting motor control, as
