Low frequency (0.5Hz) rTMS over the right (non-dominant) motor cortex does not affect ipsilateral hand performance in healthy humans A inibição do córtex motor não-dominante por meio da estimulação magnética transcraniana a 0,5Hz não interfere no desempenho manual ipsilateral de sujeitos hígidos

Reduction of excitability of the dominant primary motor cortex (M1) improves ipsilateral hand function in healthy subjects. In analogy, inhibition of non-dominant M1 should also improve ipsilateral performance. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we have used slow repetitive transcranial magnet...
