Investigators at Champalimaud Foundation Report Findings in Neuropsychiatry (Reducing Motor Evoked Potential Amplitude Variability Through Normalization).

A recent report from the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal discusses research findings on Neuropsychiatry. The study focuses on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a potential biomarker for neuropsychiatric disorders. The researchers explored the impact of normalization on the variability of Motor Evoked Potential (MEP) amplitude, which is measured through TMS. They found that internal reference normalization significantly reduced between-subject variability, while external reference normalization had no impact or increased variability. Further research is needed to validate these normalization methods for potential use as biomarkers of neuropsychiatric disorders. [Extracted from the article]
