Repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)_________ activity in the underlying cortex?

B) increases
C) does not affect
D) can either increase or decrease

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effects of rTMS on cortical activity can vary, depending on the parameters of the stimulation. High-frequency rTMS (typically 5-20 Hz) can increase cortical excitability, while low-frequency rTMS (typically 1 Hz) can decrease excitability. However, the specific response can also depend on the individual, the location of stimulation, and other factors. Therefore, rTMS can either increase or decrease activity in the underlying cortex.
