Three patients underwent fMRI during a word generation task before and after successful treatment of auditory hallucinations with rTMS and were compared to four control subjects. There was a significant increase and more normal task related brain activation in brain areas involved in language processing including left temporoparietal cortex after rTMS treatment.
三名患者在接受重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)成功治疗幻听前后,于单词生成任务期间接受了功能磁共振成像(fMRI)检查,并与四名对照受试者进行了比较。rTMS治疗后,包括左侧颞顶叶皮质在内的参与语言处理的脑区中,与任务相关的脑激活显著增加且更为正常。
