Definition
English
:
A technique that involves the use of electrical coils on the head to generate a brief
magnetic
field which reaches the
CEREBRAL CORTEX
. It is coupled with
ELECTROMYOGRAPHY
response
detection
to assess
cortical excitability
by the threshold required to induce MOTOR
EVOKED POTENTIALS
. This method is also used for
BRAIN MAPPING
, to study
NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
, and as a substitute for
ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY
for treating
DEPRESSION
. Induction of
SEIZURES
limits its clinical usage.
