Preconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex [PDF]
, 2004 Recent experimental work in animals has emphasized the importance of homeostatic plasticity as a means of stabilizing the properties of neuronal circuits. Here, we report a phenomenon that indicates a homeostatic pattern of cortical plasticity in healthy

Does inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation augment functional task practice to improve arm recovery in chronic stroke? [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction. Restoration of upper extremity (UE) functional use remains a challenge for individuals following stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive modality that modulates cortical excitability and is being ...

Testing rTMS-Induced Neuroplasticity: A Single Case Study of Focal Hand Dystonia [PDF]
, 2018 Focal hand dystonia in musicians is a neurological motor disorder in which aberrant plasticity is caused by excessive repetitive use. This work's purposes were to induce plasticity changes in a dystonic musician through five daily thirty-minute sessions ...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and drug addiction [PDF]
International Review of Psychiatry, 2011 Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that is now being tested for its ability to treat addiction. This review discusses current research approaches and results of studies which measured the therapeutic use of rTMS to treat tobacco, alcohol and illicit drug addiction. The research in this area

Complementary methods of diagnosis and treatment in movement disorders [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2012 The cortical and subcortical regions are functionally connected, and normal well-coordinated movement results from their interaction. Abnormal movements are the consequence of a lesion or malfunction in the basal ganglia (BG) and their interconnections ...
