and the navigated TMS results. It is also seen in reviews [6] methodological aspects, clinical applications, and future directions of TMS-based mapping. They concluded that noninvasive brain stimulation is an important investigative tool and has potential therapeutic applications in cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, psychiatry, and neurology. TMS is particularly useful to establish and map causal brain-behavior relations in motor and non-motor cortical areas. It was suggested [7] that MEG, data fusion models (EEG-fMRI-BOLD), TMS, evoked potentials, intracranial electrophysiology, and EEG complemented by fMRI and PET would certainly help in further understanding the broader association between brain and behavior. It was investigated by [8] neurophysiologic correlates of psychiatric disorders and potential applications in epilepsy.There is an increasing interest in psychiatric evaluation using neurophysiologic tools such as EEG, MEG, and TMS.

MEG evaluation of Parkinson's diseased patients after external magnetic stimulation.

Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings of Parkinson's diseased (PD) patients were obtained using a whole-head 122-channel magnetometer and analyzed with Fourier statistical analysis. External transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the order of pico Tesla was applied on the above patients with proper field characteristics (magnetic amplitude : 1-7.5 pT, frequency : the alpha-rhythm of the ...

MEG-guided surface coil imaging at 3 Tesla in patients with refractory epilepsy: preliminary results

PURPOSE: Patients with refractory epilepsy in whom the epileptogenic zone cannot be precisely identified using the currently available presurgical evaluation tools are not likely to undergo resective surgery and remain prone to uncontrolled seizures. The aim of this study is to assess the added value of surface coil imaging at 3 Tesla (3T SCI) guided by magnetoencephalography (MEG) with regard ...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) modulates epileptiform discharges in patients with Frontal Lobe epilepsy: a Preliminary EEG-TMS Study

BACKGROUND TMS is being increasingly used as a noninvasive brain stimulation technique for the therapeutic management of partial epilepsies. However, the acute effects of TMS on epileptiform discharges (EDs, i.e. interictal epileptiform activity and subclinical electrographic seizure patterns) remain unexplored. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether TMS can modulate EDs in partial epilepsy. METH...
