Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has proven to be a useful tool to characterize corticospinal drive in awake behaving humans.

Given the pathophysiological processes in ALS that disrupt corticospinal drive, quantifying failure of facilitation can be used to detect UMN dysfunction, potentially providing a biomarker at earlier stages of the disease.
