Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulations (TMSs) of the motor cortex (M1) were performed in order to decipher the neural mechanisms of time preparation. We varied the degree to which it was possible to prepare for the response signal in a choice reaction time (RT) task by employing either a short (500 ms) or a long (2500 ms) foreperiod in separate blocks of trials. Transcranial magnetic s...

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...

The effects of acute hypoxia on motor cortex excitability, force production, and voluntary activation were studied using single- and double-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques in 14 healthy male subjects. Electrical supramaximal stimulations of the right ulnar nerve were performed, and transcranial magnetic stimulations were delivered to the first dorsal interosseus motor cortex ...

Abstract Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain method for researching the functionality and clinical use. In general TMS procedure, motor threshold (MT) intensity optimal coil location ("hotspot") are searched manually. This is, however, time-consuming as several stimulations required to measure MT ensure that will be optimally positioned stimulating cortical target lo...

Objective and Impact Statement . There is a need to develop rodent coils capable of targeted brain stimulation for treating neuropsychiatric disorders understanding mechanisms. We describe novel coil design improve the focality stimulations in small brains. Introduction Transcranial magnetic (TMS) becoming increasingly important Preclinical studies permit invasive manipulations are essential me...

Introduction: Considering the antiepileptogenic effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), the effect of rTMS applied during amygdala kindling on spontaneous activity of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons was investigated. Materials and Methods: A tripolar electrode was inserted in basolateral amygdala of Male Wistar rats. After a recovery period, animals received daily kindl...

a b s t r a c tthe applications of neurophysiological therapy techniques range far and few in the realm of modern day medicine. however, the concept of electromagnetic stimulation, the basis for many noninvasive brain stimulation (nibs) techniques today, has been of interest to the scientific community since the late nineteenth century. recently, transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs) a...

[Purpose] While primary motor cortex activation has been implicated as a key factor in the arthrogenic muscle inhibition after knee joint injury, no viable rehabilitation protocol has been developed to accommodate this factor. In this study, transcranial magnetic stimulation was applied as a means of dissipating arthrogenic muscle inhibition by introducing temporary motor cortex excitation prio...

results in the control group, barthel and fugl-meyer indices showed significant improvement (p = 0.01, p = 0.00), while in the experimental group, significant improvement in barthel and fugl-meyer indices and dynamometers has been observed (p = 0.01, p = 0.00, p = 0.007). conclusions rtms can improve hand muscle force and functions of patients with chronic hemiplegia, while conventional treatme...
