Non-invasive induction of human neuroplasticity can be achieved by brain stimulation, such as TMS. Paired associative stimulation combining peripheral nerve and cortical stimulation can change M1 excitability beyond the stimulation period. We hypothesized that the associative stimulation is a general principle for producing plasticity and recently reported 2 new protocols. One is paired bihemispheric stimulation (PBS) combining the transcallosal input to M1 and TMS by using the bihlateral M1 stimulation. The other is movement-related cortical stimulation (MRCS), which pairs TMS and the endogenous M1 activity associated with movement. We will introduce these protocols.
