LOW-FREQUENCY REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION MODULATES EVOKED-GAMMA POWER, EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS, AND BEHAVIOR IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS By Joshua Matthias Baruth

Theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocols have recently emerged as a method to transiently alter cortical excitability in the human brain through repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. TBS involves applying short trains of stimuli at high frequency repeated at intervals of 200 milliseconds. Because repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is known to carry a risk of seizures, safety gu...

In recent rehabilitation, treatments include electrical stimulation and magnetic stimulation. They are transcranial (TMS), repetitive peripheral (rPMS), transcutaneous nerve (TENS), others. rPMS has been effective technique for non-invasive neuromodulation. Clinical effects of have reported such as generalized sarcopenia dysphagia, measurement rectus femoris muscle (RF), strength suprahyoid mus...

The aim of the study was to compare the effect duration of two different protocols of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on saccade triggering. In four experiments, two regions (right frontal eye field (FEF) and vertex) were stimulated using a 1-Hz and a theta burst protocol (three 30Hz pulses repeated at intervals of 100ms). The same number of TMS pulses (600 pulses) was appli...

Objective: Stimulation frequency has been considered themost important factor in conventional repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for determining the direction of after effects on corticospinal excitability. Here, we examined the functional relevance of breaks during high-frequency subthreshold rTMS for the induction of facilitatory after effects. Methods: The after effects on c...

Selecting a suitable sham condition within the frame of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment trials is a central issue. On the one hand, the ideal sham condition should not have a real stimulation effect; on the other hand, it should not be recognized as sham by patients, particularly when considering that real stimulation conditions come along with rTMS specific side e...

introduction: measuring the size of motor evoked potentials (meps) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) is an investigational technique to show the level of corticospinal excitability however, some of the fundamental methodological aspects of tms (such as the effects of inter-pulse intervals (ipi) on mep size) are not fully understood, this issue raises concerns about the reliabil...
