TL;DR: There is a sufficient body of evidence to accept with level A (definite efficacy) the analgesic effect of high-frequency rTMS of the primary motor cortex (M1) contralateral to the pain and the antidepressant effect of HF-rT MS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).
Journal ArticleDOI
A common polymorphism in the brain‐derived neurotrophic factor gene (BDNF) modulates human cortical plasticity and the response to rTMS
Binith Cheeran,Penelope Talelli,Francesco Mori,Francesco Mori,Giacomo Koch,Giacomo Koch,Antonio Suppa,Antonio Suppa,Mark J. Edwards,Henry Houlden,Kailash P. Bhatia,Richard Greenwood,John C. Rothwell +12 more
TL;DR: New non‐invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranials direct current stimulation (TDCS) techniques that directly test the excitability and plasticity of neuronal circuits in human motor cortex in subjects at rest are used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and recommendations for TMS use in healthy subjects and patient populations, with updates on training, ethical and regulatory issues: Expert Guidelines

TL;DR: New operational guidelines are provided for safety in planning future trials based on traditional and patterned TMS protocols, as well as a summary of the minimal training requirements for operators, and a note on ethics of neuroenhancement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Chronic Neuropathic Pain in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Francesco Mori,Claudia Codecà,Hajime Kusayanagi,Fabrizia Monteleone,Fabio Buttari,Stefania Fiore,Giorgio Bernardi,Giacomo Koch,Diego Centonze +8 more
TL;DR: The results show that anodal tDCS is able to reduce pain-scale scores in MS patients with central chronic pain and that this effect outlasts the period of stimulation, leading to long-lasting clinical effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Course of Functional Connectivity between Dorsal Premotor and Contralateral Motor Cortex during Movement Selection
Giacomo Koch,Michele Franca,Miguel Fernández del Olmo,Binith Cheeran,Rosemary Milton,Maria Alvarez Sauco,John C. Rothwell +6 more
TL;DR: The results illustrate the importance of PMd not only in facilitating cued movements but also in suppressing movements that have been prepared but are not used.
