Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies is a research topic within Neurology. Science Explorer counts 27k research works in it since 1950. 21.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the effects of various non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation, on the motor cortex. It delves into topics such as cortical plasticity, neurorehabilitation after stroke, modulation of cortical excitability, and the role of functional connectivity in motor recovery.
