Recent functional and imaging studies have substantially contributed to extend the concept of multiple sclerosis (MS), classically regarded as a disease limited to the myelin axonal sheath. Several findings, in fact, point to a parallel involvement of neuronal components of the central nervous system (CNS) in the course of MS. In the present study, therefore, we explored, in MS patients, some characteristics of central motor pathways related to changes of neuronal excitability as measured using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Abstract
Recent functional and imaging studies have substantially contributed to extend the concept of multiple sclerosis (MS), classically regarded as a disease limited to the myelin axonal sheath. Several findings, in fact, point to a parallel involvement of neuronal components of the central nervous system (CNS) in the course of MS. In the present study, therefore, we explored, in MS patients, some characteristics of central motor pathways related to changes of neuronal excitability as measured using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
