40. 2) TMS STUDY:16 subjects (9 high WMH, 7 low WMH) participated in TMS pilot study Key Finding:There is a trend of increased cortical excitability (i.e., faster TCCT and lower RMT) associated with poorer performance on psychometric tests of cognitive processing speed, In a regression analysis, faster TCCT may be related to poorer performance on the a) Trails B tests (R2 = 0.3) and b) Stroop Color Naming (R2 = 0.264). Similarly, lower RMT was related to slower performance on Choice Reaction Time test (R2 = 0.23, p = 0.069). 85 240 p = 0.09 75 200 Stroop Color Naming (# named in 45 seconds) 65 160 Trails B (sec) 120 p = 0.07 55 80 45 40 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 TCCT (ms) TCCT (ms) Key Finding:Cortical excitability may be increased in subjects with high WMH Difference in Resting Motor Threshold between subjects with and without high MRI WMH Volumes (p = 0.02, R2 = 0.27 for averaged Right and Left Hemispheres, ANOVA). Difference in Transcallosal Conduction Time (TCCT) between subjects with and without high MRI WMH Volumes (R2 = 0.41, p = 0.02, ANOVA). 18 70 16 60 14 50 12 Threshold Average (% max output) 10 40 R to L TCCT (ms) 8 30 6 20 4 10 2 0 0 High WMH Low WMH High WMH Low WMH
