Abstract
Robotic transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive and safe tool that produces cortical motor maps-individualized representations of the primary motor cortex (M1) topography-that may reflect developmental and interventional plasticity. This study is the first to evaluate short- and long-term relative and absolute reliability of TMS mapping outcomes at various M1 excitability levels using novel robotic neuronavigated TMS.
