Dramatic Response of Resistant Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Right Supplementary Motor Area
The response rate to the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is 21.6% to 61.3%, which shows a relative resistance to current treatments and a need for novel therapeutic approaches. Here we report a case of resistant OCD with fast and dramatic response to a relatively new method of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation. In this method a pulse magnetic field emits from a coil o...
متن کاملEmotion and motor preparation: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study of corticospinal motor tract excitability.
In the present study, we examined whether preparing motor responses under different emotional conditions alters motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation delivered to the motor cortex. Analyses revealed three findings: (1) Reaction times were expedited during exposure to unpleasant images, as compared with pleasant and neutral images; (2) force amplitude was g...

متن کاملDegeneration of the corticofugal tract from the secondary motor area in a Parkinson's disease patient with limb-kinetic apraxia
RATIONALE In this case report, we describe a Parkinson's disease (PD) patient with limb-kinetic apraxia (LKA) in whom degeneration of the corticofugal tract (CFT) from the supplementary motor area (SMA) was observed in diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). PATIENT CONCERNS A 63-year-old woman presented with a loss of dexterity in both upper extremities, which indicated LKA, and typical PD-rela...
متن کاملCrossed Transcortical Motor Aphasia, Left Spatial Neglect, and Limb and Magnetic Apraxia Due to Right Anterior Cerebral Artery Infarction
Crossed aphasia refers to language disturbance due to right-hemisphere lesions in right-handed individuals, while magnetic apraxia is described as 'forced grasping and groping' caused by lesions in the contralateral frontal lobe. This is a case report of a 70-year-old right handed woman who suffered from crossed transcortical motor aphasia and left hand magnetic apraxia due to right anterior ce...
