This study aimed to determine the effect of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on electroencephalograms (EEGs) of rats. Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were subject to 100 pulses of 0.5 Hz rTMS, or sham stimulation. EEGs were recorded before stimulation and within 1 min after rTMS or sham stimulation. Estimates of the EEG correlation dimension (D(2)) and power spectra were calculated. Results show that the D(2) reduced significantly after low-frequency rTMS, but not after sham stimulation. Mean absolute power (MAP) of the gamma band and relative power (RP) of the beta and gamma bands reduce markedly after low-frequency rTMS, but there are no changes with sham stimulation. These results indicate that low-frequency rTMS could affect cortical activities significantly, but effects were markedly different from those of high-frequency rTMS.
本研究旨在确定低频重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)对大鼠脑电图(EEG)的影响。15只Sprague-Dawley大鼠接受了100次0.5Hz的rTMS脉冲刺激或假刺激。在刺激前以及rTMS或假刺激后1分钟内记录脑电图。计算脑电图关联维数(D(2))和功率谱估计值。结果显示,低频rTMS后D(2)显著降低,但假刺激后未降低。低频rTMS后γ频段的平均绝对功率(MAP)以及β和γ频段的相对功率(RP)显著降低,但假刺激后无变化。这些结果表明,低频rTMS可显著影响皮层活动,但效应与高频rTMS明显不同。
