Optimal number of pulses as outcome measures of neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation.
OBJECTIVE Identify the optimal number of pulses necessary to achieve reliable measures of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies. METHODS Retrospective data was obtained from 54 healthy volunteers (30 men, mean age 61.7±13.1years) who as part of prior studies had completed three blocks of 30 consecutive TMS stimuli using neuronavigation. Data from fo...
متن کاملOptimal Coil Orientation for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
We study the impact of coil orientation on the motor threshold (MT) and present an optimal coil orientation for stimulation of the foot. The result can be compared to results of models that predict this orientation from electrodynamic properties of the media in the skull and from orientations of cells, respectively. We used a robotized TMS system for precise coil placement and recorded motor-ev...
متن کاملA Randomised Controlled Trial of Neuronavigated Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in Anorexia Nervosa.
BACKGROUND Anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with morbid fear of fatness, extreme food restriction and altered self-regulation. Neuroimaging data implicate fronto-striatal circuitry, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). METHODS In this double-blind parallel group study, we investigated the effects of one session of sham-controlled high-frequency repetitive transcranial magn...
متن کاملOnset Latency of Motor Evoked Potentials in Motor Cortical Mapping with Neuronavigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Cortical motor mapping in pre-surgical applications can be performed using motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes evoked with neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation. The MEP latency, which is a more stable parameter than the MEP amplitude, has not so far been utilized in motor mapping. The latency, however, may provide information about the stress in damaged motor pathways, e.g. comp...
متن کاملAnisotropy in the visual cortex investigated by neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex depend on the direction of the induced current with an optimum perpendicular to the orientation of the precentral gyrus. Little is known about anisotropy in other cortical regions. We measured phosphene thresholds in the visual cortex using a frameless neuronavigation system. Comparing horizontal and vertical current orien...
