Resting-state fMRI study of brain activation using low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in rats

Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique used to treat many neuropsychiatric conditions. However, the mechanisms underlying its mode of action are still unclear. This is the first rodent study using resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI...
