Early Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Exerts Neuroprotective Effects and Improves Motor Functions in Hemiparkinsonian Rats

Figure 1

Setup of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment for 6-OHDA-induced hemiparkinsonian rats. Unanesthetized rats were restrained on a platform with 4 straps with minimal discomfort. The figure-8 TMS coil is centered over the dorsal scalp at the interaural line to stimulate the bilateral motor cortex.
