Induction of plasticity in the human motor cortex by pairing an auditory stimulus with TMS.

abstract：:Perceiving the external spatial location of touch requires that tactile information about the stimulus location on the skin be integrated with proprioceptive information about the location of the body in external space, a process called tactile spatial remapping. Recent results have suggested that this process relies ...
