The Use of Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS) in the Inhibition of Neurofunctional Regions of Interest
Paused · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Brain Tumor, Surgery
In brief
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of task inhibition during TMS to confirm brain region localization. This study could provide an effective pathway for neurofunctional landmark confirmation that may be useful in a number of treatment modalities and medical considerations.
