Summary: A stable and non-invasive method for assessing swallowing function has not yet been established. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is commonly used to diagnose dysphagia, but the traditional single-pulse TMS method is not suitable for patients with severe dysphagia. Previous research has developed a TMS device that can measure MEPs related to hand function, and the analysis shows that quadri-burst stimulation (QBS5) can induce facilitation in the bilateral mylohyoid MEPs, which is correlated with the severity of swallowing dysfunction after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Summary: The study showed that the effects of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on long-term potentiation (LTP)-like plasticity of the primary motor cortex (M1) are significantly reduced in older adults compared to young adults.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on working memory performance in healthy adults, specifically focusing on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (RDLPFC). The results showed significant time effects on overall accuracy in both 2-back and 3-back tasks, as well as on total reaction time in 3-back tasks. However, there were no significant interaction effects between time and group.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to examine the neurocognitive effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) as an adjunctive treatment for older adults with schizophrenia. The findings from two randomized controlled trials suggest that iTBS may have beneficial effects in improving neurocognitive function in older patients with schizophrenia. However, further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study investigates the lasting facilitation of corticospinal excitability induced by 30 Hz/6 Hz iTBS. Most participants showed MEP facilitation post iTBS, and recruitment of early I-waves appears to predict this facilitation effect.

Summary: This study found that intermittent theta burst stimulation with bilateral cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation can effectively improve swallowing function in patients with dysphagia after stroke. The stimulation of bilateral cerebellar hemisphere provides a more efficient treatment. Additionally, 100% resting motor threshold bilateral cerebellar iTBS is a relatively safe treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness and tolerability of intermittent Theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) in a clinical setting. The results showed that iTBS was safe and well-tolerated, and the response rate was similar to that reported in clinical trials. Older age and milder illness predicted a better treatment response.

Summary: This study found that cortical intermittent theta burst stimulation combined with precise root stimulation can improve nerve conduction of the corticospinal tract and lower limb motor function recovery in patients with chronic spinal cord injury.

Summary: This research investigated the impact of baseline resting state functional connectivity on responses to continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS). The results showed that a low beta frequency band model of connectivity played a crucial role in determining responses to spaced cTBS, suggesting that M1-frontocentral networks may have an important role in the effects of cTBS on corticospinal excitability.

Summary: The study found that using neuronavigation for positioning did not show significant superiority over the non-neuronavigated F3 guided method. While the add-on iTBS treatment showed high antidepressive effect in inpatient treatment, the difference between neuronavigated and non-neuronavigated approaches may not justify the additional efforts of navigation. Further prospective studies are needed to compare neuronavigation with surface-based approaches in clinical settings.

Summary: This study investigated the augmented effect of iTBS on virtual reality-based cycling training for upper limb function in stroke patients. The results showed that the iTBS+VCT group demonstrated significant improvements in reducing spasticity, increasing actual use of the affected upper limb, and improving participation in daily life, compared to the sham group.

Summary: The study examined the effects of subthreshold rTMS on structural synaptic plasticity in the mouse motor cortex of young and aged mice. The results showed that subthreshold rTMS can alter the rate of dendritic spine losses and gains, and effectively drive structural synaptic plasticity in both young adult and aged mice.

Summary: This study explored the effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on intellectually able adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The results showed that multi-session iTBS had immediate effects on parent-rate autistic symptoms. Additionally, individual factors such as social-communicative impairment, cognitive performance, psychotropic medication use, and baseline autistic symptoms modulated the effects of iTBS on cognitive flexibility and clinical symptoms.

Summary: This study found that multiple blocks of iTBS have dose and time-dependent effects on hippocampus-dependent memory in PD, which may be related to changes in hippocampal c-Fos expression and theta rhythm.

Summary: This study aimed to test the temporal stability of cortical-excitability modulation and study the impact of individual and methodological factors in determining within-and between-subject variability. The results found modulatory effects on the left motor cortex immediately after intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), but not on the right hemisphere. Delta-MEPs were stable immediately after iTBS and were not impacted by different individual factors. The findings suggest that motor cortex excitability modulation may be further explored as a potential biomarker for neuropsychiatric diseases.

Summary: This study investigated the role of slow-oscillatory transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) in modulating synaptic homeostasis in awake humans. The results suggest that slow-oscillatory tACS does not appear to modulate synaptic homeostasis in the motor system of awake humans under the conditions tested.
