Repetitive TMS temporarily alters brain diffusion.

چکیده
The authors investigated whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at 1 Hz (12 minutes; 90% of motor threshold) to the primary motor cortex (M1) leads to changes in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). After the rTMS train, there was a temporary small restriction in diffusion within the targeted left M1 that disappeared after 5 minutes. These findings provide a physiologic correlate to the reported behavioral consequences of off-line 1-Hz rTMS and reveal the transitory nature of the effects.

Dissociating Contributions of the Motor Cortex to Speech Perception and Response Bias by Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Recent studies using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have demonstrated that disruptions of the articulatory motor cortex impair performance in demanding speech perception tasks. These findings have been interpreted as support for the idea that the motor cortex is critically involved in speech perception. However, the validity of this interpretation has been called into questi...
متن کاملBrain responses evoked by high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: an event-related potential study.
BACKGROUND Many recent studies have used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to study brain-behavior relationships. However, the pulse-to-pulse neural effects of rapid delivery of multiple TMS pulses are unknown largely because of TMS-evoked electrical artifacts limiting recording of brain activity.ObjectiveIn this study, TMS-related artifacts were removed with independent compo...
متن کاملP45: Long-Lasting Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Anxiety-Like Behaviors in Schizophrenic Developmental Model
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been applied to a growing number of psychiatric disorders as a neurophysiological probe, a primary brain-mapping tool and a candidate treatment. Although most investigations have focused on the treatment of major depression, increasing attention has been paid to anxiety disorders. The aim of this study is to long time (for 30 days) effect of repetitiv...

This scientific commentary refers to 'Efficacy of prefrontal theta-burst stimulation in refractory depression: a randomized sham-controlled study', by Li et al., (doi:10.1093/brain/awu109). Major depressive disorder is associated with increased mortality, significant morbidity, and substantial impairments in functioning. It is estimated that by the year 2020, depression will be second only to h...
