标题:Low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation requires concurrent visual system activity to modulate visual evoked potentials in adult mice
摘要:mice, which have visuotopic anomalies thought to disrupt coherence of visually-evoked cortical activity. Demonstrating that LI-rTMS effects in V1 require concurrent sensory-evoked activity, LI-rTMS delivered during visually-evoked activity increased PV+ immunoreactivity in both genotypes; however, VEP peak amplitudes changed only in wildtypes, consistent with intracortical disinhibition. We show, for the first time, that neural activity and the degree of coordination in cortical population activity interact with LI-rTMS to alter excitability in a context-dependent manner.
