Evidence for normative intracortical inhibitory recruitment properties in cervical dystonia.

CONCLUSIONS: Recruitment properties of intracortical inhibition are similar between control and CD groups. Transcallosal inhibition is asymmetric between hemispheres in people with CD.
SIGNIFICANCE: Evidence of normative intracortical inhibition recruitment properties challenge the commonly held view that cortical inhibition is reduced in dystonia.
