Reduced Performance During a Sentence Repetition Task by Continuous Theta-Burst Magnetic Stimulation of the Pre-supplementary Motor Area

Role of Broca's Area in Implicit Motor Skill Learning: Evidence from Continuous Theta-burst Magnetic Stimulation

Complex actions can be regarded as a concatenation of simple motor acts, arranged according to specific rules. Because the caudal part of the Broca's region (left Brodmann's area 44, BA 44) is involved in processing hierarchically organized behaviors, we aimed to test the hypothesis that this area may also play a role in learning structured motor sequences. To address this issue, we investigate...

Report of seizure induced by continuous theta burst stimulation.

To the Editor: We report the first-ever seizure induced by continuous theta burst (cTBS) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The subject was a 33-year-old man, healthy control without any risk factors for epilepsy. He was not taking any medications. Two days before the event, the subject had flown transAtlantic from London to Boston, and his sleep pattern may have still been altered, altho...

Continuous theta burst stimulation over the contralesional sensory and motor cortex enhances motor learning post-stroke.

The current study investigated the contributions of contralesional primary somatosensory cortex (S1c) to motor learning deficits post-stroke. For three days, continuous theta burst (cTBS) was delivered over the contralesional hemisphere prior to practicing a serial targeting task. cTBS was delivered over either S1c, contralesional primary motor cortex (M1c) or as control stimulation (n=4/group)...
