Abstract

Single and paired pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) provide a non-invasive, painless method of probing the motor system. These techniques are of particular interest for studying maturation of the motor system and may provide insights into those developmental disabilities strongly associated with specific delays of motor development. This article will review studies using single pulse and paired pulse TMS in children, with particular reference to insights into neurodevelopment in children. It will also briefly touch on the potential of TMS as a diagnostic tool in neurological disorders. It will not address the use of repetitive TMS in children.
