    The photoparoxysmal response (PPR) involves rapid spread of epileptic activity from visual to parietal and frontal areas. We used a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technique to assess the physiologic connections between primary visual (V1) and motor (M1) areas in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). We hypothesized that in PPR-positive patients, M1 would respond excessively to inputs from V1
