Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of TMS on the ANS. The investigator will determine whether single-pulse TMS of the primary motor cortex in the dominant hemisphere in healthy, young adults will affect 1) heart rate and heart rate variability, 2) blood pressure and 3) baroreflex function. This study is foundational in that it will begin to characterize how single-pulse TMS affects the ANS in healthy adults.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

DEVICE

Single-Pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Single-pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation activates neurons within the cortex of the brain by way of electromagnetic induction. This causes a small, focused electric field to become present in the brain, which activates the neurons.
