Abstract

<h4>Objective</h4>Cerebral [18F]fluorodeoxy-D-glucose PET ([18F]FDG-PET) was used to visualize the lasting neuronal activation after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left hand area of the primary motor cortex (M1HAND).<h4>Background</h4>Applied over M1HAND, rTMS has been ...
