abstract = {Data derived from transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
studies suggest that transcallosal inhibition mechanisms
between the primary motor cortex of both hemispheres may
contribute to the reduced motor performance of stroke
patients. We here investigated the potential of modulating
pathological interactions between cortical motor areas by
means of repetitive TMS using functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) and dynamic causal modeling (DCM). Eleven
subacute stroke patients were scanned 1-3 months after
symptom onset while performing whole hand fist closure
movements. After a baseline scan, patients were stimulated
with inhibitory 1-Hz rTMS applied over two different
locations: (i) vertex (control stimulation) and (ii) primary
motor cortex (M1) of the unaffected (contralesional)
hemisphere. Changes in the endogenous and task-dependent
effective connectivity were assessed by DCM of a bilateral
network comprising M1, lateral premotor cortex, and the
supplementary motor area (SMA). The results showed that rTMS
applied over contralesional M1 significantly improved the
motor performance of the paretic hand. The connectivity
analysis revealed that the behavioral improvements were
significantly correlated with a reduction of the negative
influences originating from contralesional M1 during paretic
hand movements. Concurrently, endogenous coupling between
ipsilesional SMA and M1 was significantly enhanced only
after rTMS applied over contralesional M1. Therefore, rTMS
applied over contralesional M1 may be used to transiently
remodel the disturbed functional network architecture of the
motor system. The connectivity analyses suggest that both a
reduction of pathological transcallosal influences
(originating from contralesional M1) and a restitution of
ipsilesional effective connectivity between SMA and M1
underlie improved motor performance.},
