Improvement of cerebellar ataxia was only observed after real TMS, not sham stimulation. As this effect was consistent with inhibition of hyperconnectivity of M1, the effectiveness of high-frequency cerebellar TMS for cerebellar ataxia was thought to be caused by inhibition of the DTC pathway. ...

The application of cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in stroke patients has received increasing attention due to its neuromodulation mechanisms. However, studies on the effect and safety of cerebellar TMS to improve balance capacity and activity of daily living (ADL) for stroke patients...
The cerebellum is involved in non-motor processing, supported by topographically distinct cerebellar activations and closed-loop circuits between the cereb
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the leg motor area elicits a soleus primary response (SPR) and a soleus late response (SLR). We evaluated the influence of the cerebellofugal pathway on the SPR and SLR in patients with 'pure' cerebellar ataxia. SPRs and SLRs were recorded from ...
To this end, repetitive cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to test whether it modulates CIF. Overall, 20 healthy young individuals participated in the study. Single-pulse TMS was applied to the left primary motor cortex to induce motor-evoked potentials (MEP) on ...
Traditionally, the cerebellum has been linked to motor coordination, but growing evidence points to its involvement in a wide range of non-motor functions. Though the number of studies using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate cerebell
who additionally developed ataxia 1.5 years ago. To study cerebellar involvement in our patient, we used a TMS protocol called cerebellar inhibition (CBI). The lack of CBI in our patient strongly suggests cerebellar involvement. According to our findings, cerebellar syndrome may be part of the phe...
In future work, it would be interesting to also study additional aspects of neurotransmission with TMS-based techniques for instance assessing long-interval intercortical inhibition (LICI—GABAB-ergic) or short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI—acetylcholinergic) to disentangle potential other underlying ...
