[ effect of chronic low Frequency magnetic stimulation on synaptic potentiation induced by electrical stimulation in the rat's dentate gyrus]

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose: Nowadays repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS] is being used as a treatment for some neurological disorders, but its effect on neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity has not been completely determined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of chronic rTMS on the ability of synaptic plasticity.
