In this chapter, we first discuss the concept of therapeutic application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in post-stroke aphasic patients. Second, we describe our protocol of functional MRI-based therapeutic rTMS for this patient population and report the clinical results of the treatment. Finally, we comment on future directions of therapeutic application of rTMS in resea...

The precise role of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) in attentional set activation is still not entirely clear. Hence, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) can be applied to interfere with neural processing to determine whether a specific brain area is required in task performance. In this study, the influence of one session of High Frequency (HF)-rTMS of the left DLPFC...
