Impact of repetitive theta burst stimulation on motor cortex excitability

Theta burst stimulation (TBS) alters cortical excitability in inhibitory or facilitatory directions depending on the pattern of stimulation used. Although continuous TBS (cTBS) decreases motor cortex excitability, intermittent TBS (iTBS) increases excitability by introducing an 8-second stimulation...
