Improvement of tactile discrimination performance and enlargement of cortical somatosensory maps after 5 Hz rTMS.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is increasingly used to investigate mechanisms of brain functions and plasticity, but also as a promising new therapeutic tool. The effects of rTMS depend on the intensity and frequency of stimulation and consist of changes of cortical excitability...
