Effects of Cerebellar Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Different Frequencies on Working Memory: An EEG Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cerebellum serves as an important target for non-invasive cognitive regulation because of its involvement in diverse cognitive processes via cerebro-cerebellar circuits. However, the efficiency of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in different cognitive behavior protocols remains elusive.

Objective

To investigate changes in working memory and behavioral performance after different cerebellar rTMS to provide objective neurobiological guidance for optimizing cerebellar TMS parameters.

Methods

A total of 75 healthy adult volunteers underwent rTMS at various frequencies (1, 5, 10, and 20 Hz) or received sham stimulation. Electroencephalogram recordings were captured in the resting state and 2-back working memory tasks, both before and afte
