Excitatory Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Induces Contralesional Cortico-Cerebellar Pathways After Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Preliminary DTI Study

Excitatory Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Induces Contralesional Cortico-Cerebellar Pathways After Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Preliminary DTI Study

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is proved to be effective in facilitating stroke recovery. However, its therapeutic mechanism remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate changes in white matter fractional anisotropy (FA) after excitatory rTMS to better und...
