Descriptor English: Cortical Excitability
Descriptor Spanish: Excitabilidad Cortical
Descriptor excitabilidad cortical
Scope note: Cambios medibles en la actividad del CORTEZA CEREBRAL tras una estimulación. El cambio en la excitabilidad cortical, que puede ser medido por varios procedimientos (p. ej., la ESTIMULACIÓN MAGNÉTICA TRANSCRANEAL), se asocia con alteraciones cerebrales.
