Abstract
Objective
This study sort to identify the continuous effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC-rTMS) on local and distributed brain activities.
Methods
In a double-blinded and sham-controlled design, 24 participants received either a real or sham DLPFC-rTMS session, with concurrent TMS-EEG being recorded at baseline, 5 and 60 min after stimulation.
Results
DLPFC stimulation induced immediate cortical excitability in the frontal regions, while a continuous effect was identified in the parietal cortex for up to 60 min. Moreover, this pattern of cortical excitability effects was reliably identified across TMS-induced field potentials and oscillations.
Conclusions
Single-session DLPFC stimulation induced both immediate and continuous cortical excitability effects for at least 60 min. The continuous cortical excitability change.
was most prominent over the parietal cortices.
Significance
These novel findings may inform the design of TMS treatment paradigms to optimise cortical excitability and potentially clinical efficacy.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
