Transcranial magnetic stimulation in neurodegenerative diseases: Basics and clinical applications
Özet
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) non-invasively modulates brain networks
via stimulating relevant brain regions responsible for motor and cognitive functions.
However, replicating human and animal data suggests the therapeutic role of
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in many neurological diseases.
In this paper, we evaluate the role of rTMS on the network neuroplasticity and
neuroprotective pathways, including especially the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic
Factor (BDNF), which mediates the pro-cognitive and neuroprotective effects of
rTMs, suggesting that rTMS is a potential neuroprotective and pro-cognitive therapy
