Mapping of the supplementary motor area using repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation [PDF]
Brain Stimulation, 2023 BackgroundThe supplementary motor area (SMA) is important for motor and language function. Damage to the SMA may harm these functions, yet tools for a preoperative assessment of the area are still sparse.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to validate a ...

Protocol for mapping of the supplementary motor area using repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 BackgroundDamage to the supplementary motor area (SMA) can lead to impairments of motor and language function. A detailed preoperative mapping of functional boarders of the SMA could therefore aid preoperative diagnostics in these patients.ObjectiveThe ...

Current status and potential application of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation in neurosurgery: a literature review [PDF]
Chinese Neurosurgical Journal, 2019 Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive neurophysiologic technique that can stimulate the human brain. Positioning of the coil was often performed based merely on external landmarks on the head, meaning that the anatomical target in the ...

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Motor Mapping Usefulness in the Surgical Management of Patients Affected by Brain Tumors in Eloquent Areas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Background: The surgical strategy for brain glioma has changed, shifting from tumor debulking to a more careful tumor dissection with the aim of a gross-total resection, extended beyond the contrast-enhancement MRI, including the hyperintensity on FLAIR ...

Resting motor threshold in navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation: relationship between inter-individual variance and distinct clinical and anatomical factors [PDF]
Acta NeurochirurgicaBackground Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is increasingly used in neurosurgical practice for preoperative motor mapping. The resting motor threshold (RMT), a measure of cortical excitability, has been linked to postoperative motor ...
