Enhanced motor cortex facilitation in patients with vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia
Highlights
► We examine motor cortex excitability in vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia. ► Result is of functional changes in intracortical excitatory neuronal circuits. ► It might be considered a neurophysiological marker of brain at risk for dementia.
