rTMS

Caption

(Left Panel) Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was guided to the region in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) that was maximally connected to the hippocampus at baseline. This PPC region was stimulated with 20-Hz stimulation during three consecutive daily sessions and changes in functional connectivity were measured 24 hours after the last rTMS session. (Right Panel) We observed significant increases in functional connectivity between the targeted hippocampal region and several cortical regions including the left precuneus, lateral parietal cortex, superior parietal cortex, and inferior frontal gyrus.
