Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Newer Antiepileptic Drugs: A Randomized Trial for Dosage Adjustment.

abstract：:Using the technique of transcranial magnetic stimulation over the motor areas of cortex and recording electromyographic (EMG) responses from the first dorsal interosseous muscle, we measured the excitability of corticocortical inhibitory circuits at rest using a double pulse paradigm, in 11 patients with Parkinson's d...
