Abstract :
Long latency responses (LLR) to magnetic stimulation of the spinal roots in the human neck were obtained using single pulsed magnetic nerve stimulation. The effects of repetitive magnetic stimulation of median nerves on the LLR were also investigated. When the repetitive magnetic stimulation was added to the median nerve, the latency of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) of the LLR were changed in 50-100 ms
