The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is a functional difference in short-latency (SIHI) and long-latency (LIHI) interhemispheric inhibition from the active to the resting primary motor cortex (M1) with paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation during a unilateral muscle contraction. In nine healthy right-handed participants, IHI was tested from the dominant to the nondominant M1 and vice versa under resting conditions or during performance of a sustained unilateral muscle contraction with the right or left first dorsal interosseous muscle at 10% and 30% maximum voluntary contraction. To obtain measurements of SIHI and LIHI, a conditioning stimulus (CS) was applied over the M1 contralateral to the muscle contraction, followed by a test stimulus over the M1 ipsilateral to the muscle contraction at short (10 ms) and long (40 ms) interstimulus intervals. We used four CS intensities to investigate SIHI and LIHI from the active to the resting M1 systematically. The amount of IHI during the unilateral muscle contractions showed a significant difference between SIHI and LIHI, but the amount of IHI during the resting condition did not. In particular, SIHI during the muscle contractions, but not LIHI, significantly increased with increase in CS intensity compared with the resting condition. Laterality of IHI was not detected in any of the experimental conditions. The present study provides novel evidence that a functional difference between SIHI and LIHI from the active to the resting M1 exists during unilateral muscle contractions.
