Interhemispheric inhibition of corticospinal projections to forearm muscles

Highlights • Elicitation of interhemispheric inhibition is demonstrated for projections to muscles that flex and extend the wrist. • The degree of inhibition is a monotonic function of conditioning stimulus intensity. • Inhibition was most pronounced at an inter-stimulus interval of 10 ms.
