rTMS with Motor Training Modulates Cortico-Basal Ganglia-Thalamocortical Circuits in Stroke Patients

摘要

Background and PurposeRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may enhance plastic changes in the human cortex and modulation of behavior. However, the underlying neural mechanisms have not been sufficiently investigated. We examined the clinical effects and neural correlates of high-frequency rTMS coupled with motor training in patients with hemiparesis after stroke.
