Effect of donepezil on transcranial magnetic stimulation parameters in Alzheimer's disease
Introduction There is a need for a reliable, noninvasive biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We assessed whether short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI), a transcranial magnetic stimulation paradigm that assesses cholinergic circuits of the brain, could become such a biomarker. Methods Nineteen patients with AD underwent four SAI testing sessions. The timing of their usual donepezil dose ...
متن کاملTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation in Health and Disease
(S u m m a r y) After a historical review of science and technology developments which leads to the invention of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (Chapter 1) in the next chapter (Chapter 2) the basic information for functional role of motor cortex in motor control is given. An essential part of the book is devoted to the studies of sensorimotor integration using TMS. Sensorimotor integra...
متن کاملTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies in Alzheimer's Disease
Although motor deficits affect patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) only at later stages, recent studies demonstrated that primary motor cortex is precociously affected by neuronal degeneration. It is conceivable that neuronal loss is compensated by reorganization of the neural circuitries, thereby maintaining motor performances in daily living. Effectively several transcranial magnetic stimu...
متن کاملThe Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Postural Stability After Acute Stroke: A Clinical Trial
Introduction: Balance impairment is a common problem and a major cause of motor disability after stroke. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether low-frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) improves the postural balance problems in stroke patients. Methods: This randomized double blind clinical trial with 12 weeks follow-up was conducted on stroke patients. Trea...
متن کاملEffect of different frequencies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on acquisition of chemical kindling seizures in rats
IIntroduction: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) modulates the excitability of cortical neural networks. The effect of rTMS on excitability of cortical networks depends on its frequency. According to the previous reports, a distinction is made between low (<1Hz) and high frequencies of rTMS. Low frequencies of rTMS inhibit seizure but high frequencies increase it. In the curre...
