Sažetak
Transcranial magnetic is a safe, noninvasive, and painless tool to stimulate motor cortex in behaving human subject. The utility of TMS in studying brain function has been demonstrated in diverse neuroscience applications. We present a summary of applications of a single-pulse TMS in basic neuroscience and clinical work, paired-pulsed TMS, and compare it with a repetitive TMS (rTMS). rTMS, however, is a more powerful and potentially dangerous modality, capable of regionally blocking or facilitating cortical processes. Modulation of cortical excitability by rTMS has therapeutic potential in psychiatry and neurological disorders.
