P 163 Combining TMS and EEG – a new tool to assess motor system integrity after stroke

Despite the wealth of neuroimaging studies regarding stroke pathophysiology and recovery after stroke, there is still a lack of clinically relevant biomarkers that allow to predict the potential of functional recovery and treatment response at individuals' level. Anovel approach is to test motor system integrity by means of combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG). By recording TMS-evoked potentials (TEP), the cortical response to TMS, both local and network responses can be recorded and analyzed in individual subjects (Rogasch and Fitzgerald, 2012; Ferreri, 2011).
