Development and characterization of the InVesalius Navigator software for navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2018
Neuronavigation provides visual guidance of an instrument during procedures of neurological interventions, and has been shown to be a valuable tool for accurately positioning transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coils relative to an individual's anatomy.

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for “Somatotopic” Tractography of the Corticospinal Tract

Operative Neurosurgery, 2014
Diffusion tensor imaging tractography provides 3-dimensional reconstruction of principal white matter tracts, but its spatial accuracy has been questioned. Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) enables somatotopic mapping of the motor cortex.We used motor maps to reconstruct the corticospinal tract (CST) by integrating elements of its ...

Effects of Navigated Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation After Stroke

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the effects of navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, delivered in different modes, on motor impairments and functional limitations after stroke. Methods: The study sample included 42 patients (58.5 ± 10.7 years; 26 ...

Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation: brief review of engineering solutions

Medicine of Extreme Situations, 2023
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) stands out among the rapidly developing methods for clinical rehabilitation of patients after cerebral vascular accidents. The method is widely used not only in post-stroke rehabilitation, but also in sports medicine, psychiatry and other fields of medicine.

Test-retest Reliability of Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Motor Cortex

Operative Neurosurgery, 2014
Because navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is increasingly used in neurosurgical research, interpretation of its results is of utmost importance.To evaluate the test-retest reliability of nTMS.Twelve healthy participants underwent nTMS at 2 different sessions separated by 10.3 ± 9.6 days.

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Presurgical Planning - Correlation with Functional MRI -

min - Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, 2001
This paper describes the potential of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation to map the motor cortex in patients with mass lesions near the primary motor cortex by comparing the results of this technique to those of functional MRI.Ten patients with mass lesions near the central sulcus were studied preoperatively using a figure-of-eight ...

Introducing navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation as a refined brain mapping methodology

Neurosurgical Review, 2001
A major intrinsic limitation of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to map the human brain lies in the unclear relationship between the position of the stimulating coil on the scalp and the underlying stimulated cortex. The relationship between structure and function as the major feature constituting a brain mapping modality can therefore not be ...

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Planning Epilepsy Surgery

2018
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is increasingly used for noninvasive functional mapping of eloquent cortical areas in preoperative evaluation for brain surgery. Reliability of nTMS has been studied in healthy populations. Here we describe the methods and protocols for nTMS mapping of motor- and language-related cortical areas and ...

Motor Potentials Evoked by Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Healthy Subjects

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2008
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a tool for targeted, noninvasive stimulation of cerebral cortex. Transcranial stimuli can depolarize neurons and evoke measurable effects which are unique in two ways: the effects are caused directly and without a consciousness of the subject, and, the responses from peripheral muscles provide a ...

Language function distribution in left-handers: A navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation study

Neuropsychologia, 2016
Objective: Recent studies suggest that in left-handers, the right hemisphere (RH) is more involved in language function when compared to right-handers. Since data on lesion-based approaches is lacking, we aimed to investigate language distribution of left-handers by repetitive navigated transcranial[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
