Key inclusion criteria

Individuals who have received a sufficient explanation of the study and have provided written informed consent.

Individuals who do not meet any of the exclusion criteria for the MRI measurement experiment.

Individuals who are able to participate in the handgrip task, surface electromyography recording, maximum voluntary contraction measurement, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, and twitch assessment when necessary.

For participants enrolled in experiment 3, safety screening will be conducted prior to TMS administration using Pre-MRI Screening Questionnaire, together with an assessment of the participant's physical condition on the day of the experiment, to identify any contraindications or risk factors related to TMS. The questionnaire assesses medication use, history of surgery, presence of metallic implants or foreign bodies, history of metalworking, history of seizures or epilepsy, panic attacks, possibility of pregnancy, claustrophobia or fear of darkness, implanted medical devices such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, intravascular devices, or aneurysm clips, alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, neurological or psychiatric disorders, and family history of seizures or epilepsy.

In addition, on the day of TMS administration, participants will be asked about the use of medications that may affect seizure threshold, recent alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, severe fatigue, poor physical condition, headache, history of unexplained loss of consciousness, head injury, neurosurgical procedures, and febrile seizures. If any of these factors are present, or if there are safety concerns based on the participant's responses, the principal investigator or a physician will review the information and determine whether TMS can be safely administered. If safety concerns remain, the TMS session will be postponed or canceled.

Key exclusion criteria

-Individuals with contraindications to MRI, including claustrophobia, metallic implants or foreign bodies, cardiac pacemakers, cochlear implants, or other implants containing ferromagnetic materials.

-Individuals with a history of epilepsy or seizure disorders.

-Individuals with intracranial metal implants, cerebral aneurysm clips, deep brain stimulation devices, or other implanted medical devices.

-Individuals with severe neurological, muscular, orthopedic, cardiovascular, respiratory, or psychiatric disorders for whom participation in the study is considered inappropriate.

-Individuals with pain, injury, dermatological conditions, or sensory impairment affecting the forearm or fingers that would make it difficult to perform the handgrip task or undergo transcutaneous electrical stimulation.

-Individuals who are considered likely to experience severe pain, discomfort, or skin-related adverse reactions in response to electrical stimulation.

-Individuals who are pregnant or may be pregnant.

-Individuals whom the principal investigator or a co-investigator determines to be unsuitable for participation in this study for any other reason.
