P.054 Effects of cerebellar Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) on working memory

Background: Recent evidence suggests that the cerebellum is involved in cognitive functions. Theta burst stimulation (TBS), a modality of transcranial magnetic (TMS), on can change its contribution to working memory. Therefore, we hypothesize excitatory intermittent TBS (iTBS) would improve performance memory tasks, whereas inhibitory continuous (cTBS) disrupt it. Methods: As this an ongoing study, nine participants (6 women) took part study so far. was applied bilaterally. All subjects received iTBS, cTBS, and sham iTBS three sessions random order. After each session, performed types tasks: letter 2-back, digit span forward (DSF), backward (DSB). Results: The preliminary results suggest better condition 2-back DSB tasks compared cTBS conditions, but did not reach statistical significance due small sample size. Conclusions: show cerebellar may be disrupted by TBS. gain more power recruiting participants, hope further demonstrate effects
