Short interval intracortical inhibition and facilitation during the silent period in human
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Following a suprathreshold transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the primary motor cortex (M1) during voluntary muscle contraction, a motor evoked potential (MEP) occurs in the target muscle followed by a silent period (SP) in the electromyographic (EMG) activities. The present study investigated how short interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and intracortical facilitation (ICF) change during the SP. The time course of MEP and motor threshold during the SP were examined in the right first dorsal interosseous muscle. Using a triple-pulse protocol, SICI and ICF were tested at different times during the SP. The effects of different intensities of the conditioning stimulation (CS) for SICI and ICF were also investigated during the SP and at rest. During the SP, MEP was inhibited and motor threshold was increased, whereas MEP latency and background EMG level were same as those at rest. SICI decreased during the SP over a wide range of CS intensities. ICF increased at higher CS intensity. We conclude that SICI is suppressed and ICF is facilitated during the SP and the effects are separate from the interruption of voluntary drive.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
