Introduction: Neural stimulation is a promising new technology for the treatment of medically-intractable seizures.  Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a simple, non-invasive, low cost technique which is widely used in neurophysiology. In a few studies that have been performed at different frequencies the therapeutic effects of this technique were not obvious. Repetition of low frequen...

Objective: Stimulation frequency has been considered themost important factor in conventional repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for determining the direction of after effects on corticospinal excitability. Here, we examined the functional relevance of breaks during high-frequency subthreshold rTMS for the induction of facilitatory after effects. Methods: The after effects on c...

Abstract Humans have the unique ability to flexibly and proactively extract a regular beat from complex auditory patterns, such as music. Recent neuropysiological neuroimaging studies demonstrated that perception rely on interactions between motor systems, specifically premotor cortex (PMC) supplementary areas (SMA/pre-SMA). However, how planning regions in human brain actively contributes is s...

LOW-FREQUENCY REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION MODULATES EVOKED-GAMMA POWER, EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS, AND BEHAVIOR IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS By Joshua Matthias Baruth

The precise role of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) in attentional set activation is still not entirely clear. Hence, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) can be applied to interfere with neural processing to determine whether a specific brain area is required in task performance. In this study, the influence of one session of High Frequency (HF)-rTMS of the left DLPFC...
