Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex: A Possible Target for Modulating Dyskinesias in Parkinson's Disease by Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Table 2

Effects of rTMS treatments on the amplitude of MEP responses produced by single TMS pulses. MEP: motor evoked potential; Pre-rTMS/MC: prior to the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment applied over the motor cortex; Post-rTMS/MC: immediately after the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment applied over the motor cortex; Pre-rTMS/PFC: prior to the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment applied over the prefrontal cortex; Post-rTMS/PFC: immediately after the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment applied over the prefrontal cortex.
