Motor cortical inhibition and the dopaminergic system: Pharmacological changes in the silent period after transcranial brain stimulation in normal subjects, patients with Parkinson's disease and drug-induced parkinsonism
Abstract
The silent period after contralateral and ipsilateral transcranial magnetic brain stimulation was studied in patients with Parkinson's disease before and after dopaminergic and anticholinergic therapy; in normal subjects before and after L-dopa administration and in patients with drug-induced parkinsonism. In patients and normal subjects the silent period was also studied after peripheral nerve stimulation. The silent period after transcranial cortical stimulation was shorter in Parkinson's disease patients than in normal subjects. In patients with Parkinson's disease L-dopa prolonged the silent period after transcranial brain stimulation and after ipsilateral cortical stimulation. Biperiden prolonged the silent period after transcranial brain stimulation. In normal subjects, L-dopa produced similar but smaller changes. In the patients with drug-induced parkinsonism the silent period after transcranial magnetic stimulation was shorter than normal subjects. The peripheral silent period was similar in normal subjects and in patients and did not change after drug administration. In conclusion cortical silent period is abnormal in patients with Parkinson's disease and drug-induced parkinsonism. Dopaminergic drugs modulate the duration of the cortical silent periods in patients and in normal subjects, through mechanisms acting mainly at basal ganglia and possibly also directly at cortical level.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
