Balanced interhemispheric interaction is required for normal functioning. Previous studies showed that the strength of the interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) measured by paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (ppTMS) correlates with the integrity of the corpus callosum (CC) assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The focus of the project is a problem of the variability in the motor system and its interhemispheric asymmetry. The main aim of the present study is to link intra-subject variability of the interhemispheric interactions assessed using ppTMS and with the characteristics of the CC anatomy.
