Polarity-dependent effect of low-frequency stimulation on amygdaloid kindling in rats
17 May 2012
Zhenghao Xu, Yi Wang, Miaomiao Jin, Jiaxing Yue, Cenglin Xu, Xiaoying Ying, Dengchang Wu, Shihong Zhang, Zhong Chen
Abstract: Background: Low-frequency stimulation (LFS, <5 Hz) has been proposed as an alternative option for the treatment of epilepsy. The stimulation pole, anode and cathode, may make different co...
Differences between a single session and repeated sessions of 1 Hz TMS by double-cone coil prefrontal stimulation for the improvement of tinnitus
16 May 2012
Sven Vanneste, Dirk De Ridder
Abstract: Tinnitus related distress is associated with increased activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). In a recent study, it was demonstrated that a single session of low frequency prefront...
High frequency stimulation can suppress globally seizures induced by 4-AP in the rat hippocampus: An acute in vivo study
16 May 2012
Chia-Chu Chiang, Chou-Ching K. Lin, Ming-Shaung Ju, Dominique M. Durand
Abstract: Background: High frequency stimulation (HFS) on the hippocampus can locally suppress epileptiform activity in-vitro and decrease seizure frequency in vivo. In-vitro HFS on the ventral commis...
Intermittent theta burst stimulation over ipsilesional primary motor cortex of subacute ischemic stroke patients: A pilot study
14 May 2012
Ya-Fang Hsu, Ying-Zu Huang, Yung-Yang Lin, Chih-Wei Tang, Kwong-Kum Liao, Po-Lei Lee, Yun-An Tsai, Hsien-Lin Cheng, Henrich Cheng, Chang-Min Chern, I-Hui Lee
Abstract: Background: We demonstrated that prolonged transcranial magnetic intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS, 1200 pulses/session = iTBS1200) produces longer-lasting facilitation in corticosp...
