Effect of parietal transcranial magnetic stimulation on spatial working memory in healthy elderly persons--comparison of near infrared spectroscopy for young and elderly.

In a previous study, we succeeded in improving the spatial working memory (WM) performance in healthy young persons by applying transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the parietal cortex and simultaneously measuring the oxygenated hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) level using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)...
