Reduced cortical excitability in depression. Impaired post-exercise motor facilitation with transcranial magnetic stimulation.
BACKGROUND: In healthy controls, preactivation of muscles by exercise results in enhanced motor-evoked potential (MEP) responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). AIMS: We tested the hypothesis that medicated, depressed patients would show reduced post-exercise MEP facilitation compared wi...
