BDNF Polymorphism and Differential rTMS Effects on Motor Recovery of Stroke Patients

BDNF Polymorphism and Differential rTMS Effects on Motor Recovery of Stroke Patients

Background: The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene often shows a single nucleotide polymorphism that is thought to influence synaptic plasticity. It also affects the modulatory effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor cortex excitability. Objective: This stu...
