Continuous theta-burst rTMS over primary somatosensory cortex modulates tactile perception on the hand
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) over the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) alters cortical excitability, and in its intermittent form (iTBS) improves tactile spatial acuity. The effects of continuous TBS (cTBS) on tactile acuity remain unknown. The present study examined the influence of cTBS over SI on temporal and spatial tactile acuity on the contralateral hand.
METHODS: In separate experiments, temporal discrimination threshold …
