High-density theta burst stimulation (hdTBS) at 100 Hz triples the aftereffects of the conventional intermittent TBS

Aidan Carney, Taylor Scott, Olivea Varlas…·Hanbing Lu

This paper introduces a new TMS paradigm, 100 Hz hdTBS, which triples the aftereffects of conventional iTBS in rats, highlighting the importance of pulse timing over total pulse count.
