Targeting of White Matter Tracts with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Targeting of White Matter Tracts with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Background: TMS activations of white matter depend not only on the distance from the coil, but also on the orientation of the axons relative to the TMS-induced electric field, and especially on axonal bends that create strong local field gradient maxima. Therefore, tractography contains potentially...
