abstract = {Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) effectively
increases cortical excitability within the human brain
(Huang et al., 2005). However, individual after-effects of
iTBS vary between subjects, with a large proportion not
responding at all in terms of changes in excitability
(Ridding and Ziemann, 2010; Hamada et al., 2013). We here
investigated whether subjects responding to iTBS show
differential changes in resting-state functional
connectivity (rsFC) within the cortical motor system
compared to subjects with no response.14 healthy,
right-handed subjects (m = 7, 27 ± 3 years) received iTBS
over the left primary motor cortex (M1) on two days,
separated by at least one week. Before and after
iTBS-application (i) motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) or (ii)
resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
was assessed. Seed-based whole-brain rsFC was computed for
the stimulated M1.Subjects were divided into groups of
responders and non-responders according to iTBS-induced
changes in MEPs (criterion: increase of at least $10\%$
compared to baseline). Following iTBS, rsFC between M1 and
premotor areas was significantly higher in responders
compared to both baseline (p ≤0.001, FWE-corrected) and
non-responders (p ≤0.001, FWE-corrected). Furthermore,
non-responders featured higher levels of pre-interventional
rsFC compared to responders (p = 0.061, FWE-corrected).
Individual changes in MEPs and rsFC did not
correlate.Significant iTBS-induced modulations of rsFC were
exclusively found for the group of iTBS-responders,
suggesting that changes in cortical excitability and motor
network rsFC are related. However, no linear correlation
between changes in MEP-amplitudes and rsFC was evident.
Furthermore, higher levels of pre-interventional rsFC might
prevent iTBS-induced strengthening of premotor-M1
connections, possibly underlying the non-responsiveness to
iTBS},
