Abstract
⺠Vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia (VCI-ND) is an at risk state for dementia. ⺠We aimed to detect measures of cortical excitability related to disease progression. ⺠After a follow-up period, the resting motor threshold decreased in VCI-ND patients. ⺠The observed change might be a plastic mechanism compensatory to VCI progression. ⺠TMS enhances the understanding of VCI-ND process and its progress.
