Stimulus intensity and coil characteristics influence the efficacy of rTMS to suppress cortical excitability

Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce cortical excitability. Here we examined whether inhibitory after effects of low-frequency rTMS are influenced by stimulus intensity, the type of TMS coil and re-afferent sensory stimulation. In fifteen healthy volunteers, w...
