Inducing neuroplasticity through intracranial θ-burst stimulation in the human sensorimotor cortex
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: θ-Burst stimulation (TBS) protocols in transcranial magnetic stimulation studies have shown improved treatment efficacy in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. The optimal protocol to induce neuroplasticity in invasive direct electrical stimulation approaches is not known. We report that intracranial TBS applied in human sensorimotor cortex increases local coherence of preexistent β rhythms. The effect is specific to the stimulation frequency and the stimulated network and outlasts the stimulation period by ∼3 min.
