Non-invasive electrical and magnetic stimulation of the brain, spinal cord, roots and peripheral nerves: Basic principles and procedures for routine clinical and research application. An updated report from an I.F.C.N. Committee (2015, background): “…variables explains why measurements of MEP amplitude are the most popular electrophysiological ‘‘read out’’ to assess after-effects of repetitive TMS and other non-invasive brain stimulation protocols applied over M1 on corticospinal excitability (Siebner and Rothwell, 2003; Ziemann et al., 2008).”
Post-stroke dementia – a comprehensive review (2017, background): “Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation, have been reported to improve functional status of stroke patients through modulation of the excitability of cortical circuits [117, 118].”
Executive Brake Failure following Deactivation of Human Frontal Lobe (2006, methodology): “Participants undertook the stop-signal task after receiving 15 min of TMS to the right IFG (pars opercularis), MFG, or angular gyrus (AG) (Figure 2A; Table 1). TMS protocols of similar duration have been shown to suppress cortical excitability, thus temporarily deactivating the stimulated region ( S”
Human brain mapping: hemodynamic response and electrophysiology. (2008, background): “Generally, rTMS effects depend on intensity and frequency of stimulation, and there is agreement that low-frequency rTMS, usually 1 Hz or lower, leads to cortical suppression, while high-frequency rTMS (5 Hz and higher) results in enhanced excitation (Siebner and Rothwell, 2003; Tegenthoff et al., 2”
Combining non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation with neuroimaging and electrophysiology: Current approaches and future perspectives (2016, positive): “Offline effects of NTBS (both TMS and TCS) presumably involve the lasting potentiation or depression of neuronal synapses (Siebner and Rothwell, 2003; Stagg and Nitsche, 2011), while modulatory online effects of TCS are likely based on shifts in neuronal membrane potential (Stagg and Nitsche, 2011).”
Insights into the neural basis of response inhibition from cognitive and clinical neuroscience. (2009, positive): “Low-frequency TMS can reduce cortical excitability for several minutes following stimulation (Siebner and Rothwell, 2003), thus producing a temporary 'virtual lesion'.”
Executive “Brake Failure” following Deactivation of Human Frontal Lobe (2006, background): “TMS protocols of similar duration have been shown to suppress cortical excitability , thus temporarily deactivating the stimulated region (Siebner & Rothwell, 2003; Hilgetag, Theoret, & Pascual- Leone, 2001).”
Evidence-based guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). (2014, neutral): “…some form of consensus appeared to consider low-frequency (LF) stimulation (61 Hz) as ‘‘inhibitory’’ and high-frequency (HF) stimulation (P5 Hz) as ‘‘excitatory’’, with some nuances as a function of the intensity of stimulation and the number of delivered shocks (Siebner and Rothwell, 2003).”
Transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS): a tool for double-blind sham-controlled clinical studies in brain stimulation. (2006, methodology): “Duration of modulatory effects (Ardolino et al., 2005; Huang and Rothwell, 2004; Hummel et al., 2005a; Nitsche and Paulus, 2001; Nitsche et al., 2003c; Siebner and Rothwell, 2003) Fro”
Preconditioning of Low-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: Evidence for Homeostatic Plasticity in the Human Motor Cortex (2004, background): “Although the exact mechanisms mediating these aftereffects remain to be clarified, there is some evidence that changes in synaptic efficacy play a part (Liebetanz et al., 2002; Iyer et al., 2003; Siebner and Rothwell, 2003).”
Network‐based rTMS to modulate working memory: The difficult choice of effective parameters for online interventions (2021, background): “Stimulation amplitude is widely regarded as an important determinant of rTMS effects (Siebner & Rothwell, 2003).”
