Effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation on action naming in patients with Alzheimer disease.
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on picture naming in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). DESIGN Experimental study. Patients with AD underwent rTMS in real and control conditions during picture-naming tasks. SETTING San Giovanni di Dio Fatebenefratelli Scientific Institute in Brescia, Italy...
متن کاملTranscranial magnetic stimulation improves naming in Alzheimer disease patients at different stages of cognitive decline.
OBJECTIVE Word-finding difficulty (anomia) is commonly observed in Alzheimer's dementia (AD). The aim of this study was to assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) on picture naming in 24 probable AD patients with different degrees of cognitive decline. METHODS High-frequency rTMS was applied to the left an...
متن کاملEnhancing Picture Naming with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
The enhancement of cognitive function in healthy subjects by medication, training or intervention yields increasing political, social and ethical attention. In this paper facilitatory effects of single-pulse TMS and repetitive TMS on a simple picture naming task are presented. A significant shortening of picture naming latencies was observed after single-pulse TMS over Wernicke's area. The accu...
متن کاملEffects of High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Motor Functions in Patients with Subcortical Stroke
Background: Motor function impairment occurs in approximately two-thirds of patients with subcortical stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive technique for modulating cortical excitability. Objectives: The present study was designed for assessing the efficacy of high-frequency rTMS (5 Hz) on ipsilesional primary motor cortex in patients with subcortical stro...
متن کاملManaging neuropsychiatric disease with transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Psychiatry Technology: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) Use: A substantial proportion of patients with depression fail to respond to conventional treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a powerful new technology that holds promise both as an antidepressant treatment and as an investigative tool in understanding the pathophysiology of depression. The magnetic stimulator cons...
