abstract = {Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the primary
motor cortex (M1) evokes several volleys of corticospinal
activity. While the earliest wave (D-wave) originates from
axonal activation of cortico-spinal neurons (CSN), later
waves (I-waves) result from activation of mono- and
polysynaptic inputs to CSNs. Different coil orientations
preferentially stimulate cortical elements evoking different
outputs: latero-medial-induced current (LM) elicits D-waves
and short-latency electromyographic responses (MEPs);
posterior–anterior current (PA) evokes early I-waves.
Anterior–posterior current (AP) is more variable and tends
to recruit later I-waves, featuring longer onset latencies
compared with PA-TMS. We tested whether the variability in
response to AP-TMS was related to functional connectivity of
the stimulated M1 in 20 right-handed healthy subjects who
underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while
performing an isometric contraction task. The MEP-latency
after AP-TMS (relative to LM-TMS) was strongly correlated
with functional connectivity between the stimulated M1 and a
network involving cortical premotor areas. This indicates
that stronger premotor–M1 connectivity increases the
probability that AP-TMS recruits shorter latency input to
CSNs. In conclusion, our data strongly support the
hypothesis that TMS of M1 activates distinct neuronal
pathways depending on the orientation of the stimulation
coil. Particularly, AP currents seem to recruit short
latency cortico-cortical projections from premotor areas.},
