Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021 Background: Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) is a design of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and could be a candidate to replace rTMS in the treatment of depression, thanks to its efficacy, shorter duration, and ease of use.

Monitoring cortical excitability during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with ADHD: a single-blind, sham-controlled TMS-EEG study [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows non-invasive stimulation of the human brain. However, no suitable marker has yet been established to monitor the immediate rTMS effects on cortical areas in children.

The After-Effect of Accelerated Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation at Different Session Intervals
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 ObjectiveThe study aims to investigate the after-effect of three sessions of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) on motor cortical excitability. The iTBS was induced over the primary motor cortex (M1) at different time intervals.MethodsThe study ...

Resting motor threshold in the course of hand motor recovery after stroke: a systematic review
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021 Background Resting motor threshold is an objective measure of cortical excitability. Numerous studies indicate that the success of motor recovery after stroke is significantly determined by the direction and extent of cortical excitability changes.

Age-related decrease in motor cortical inhibition during standing under different sensory conditions [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundAlthough recent studies point to the involvement of the primary motor cortex in postural control, it is unknown if age-related deterioration of postural control is associated with changes in motor cortical circuits.

Primary sensory and motor cortex excitability are co-modulated in response to peripheral electrical nerve stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) is a common clinical technique known to induce changes in corticomotor excitability; PES applied to induce a tetanic motor contraction increases, and PES at sub-motor threshold (sensory) intensities decreases ...
