| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we aimed to explore the neurophysiological mechanism of the cortical inhibitory process and to establish a new method for evaluation using weak peripheral nerve repetitive electrical stimuli. As a result, we were able to demonstrate a possibility to evaluate intra- and inter- cortical inhibition of the somatosensory area by using a magnetoencephalography with excellent temporal and spatial resolution. These results will be helpful in further evaluation for the central nervous system diseases. In addition, we found the possibility that voluntary movement could modulate the inter-hemispheric inhibition of the somatosensory area.
