background: motor function impairment occurs in approximately two-thirds of patients with subcortical stroke. repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) is a noninvasive technique for modulating cortical excitability. objectives: the present study was designed for assessing the efficacy of high-frequency rtms (5 hz) on ipsilesional primary motor cortex in patients with subcortical stro...

meningiomas are rare tumors of posterior fossa. delayed intracranial hemorrhage is a rare complication of surgeries in this territory. herein, we report a case of status epilepticus as a result of delayed motor cortex hemorrhage, complicating resection of a meningioma arising from foramen magnum.

M1 has been identified in several mammals, but most information comes from monkeys, cats, raccoons, rats, and humans. In each, five characteristics serve to define M1: (1) electrical stimulation there evokes movements with relatively low levels of electrical current, usually less than needed in other cortical fields; (2) it lacks a clearly identifiable internal granular layer, layer 4, and ther...
