Zusammenfassung
Objective: Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) of the primary motor cortex modulates cortical excitability. The present study investigates the effects of i) combined inhibitory continuous TBS (cTBS) over M1 of the dominant hemisphere followed by successive facilitatory intermittent TBS (iTBS) over M1 of the non-dominant hemisphere and ii) inhibitory cTBS over M1 of the dominant hemisphere and successive sham-iTBS over M1 of the non-dominant hemisphere on cortical excitability and interhemispheric M1-M1-interactions in healthy humans. Methods: 10 healthy right-handed subjects were stimulated with cTBS (burst of 3 pulse…
