They recorded neural activity from an area of the brain known as the frontal orienting field (FOF) in the secondary motor ...

The findings indicate that rTMS, unlike chronic motor cortex stimulation with implanted epidural electrodes, should not target the cortical area corresponding to the site of pain, but an adjacent ...
