...When 0.9 Hz rTMS was delivered for 15 min at an intensity of 1.1× the MEP threshold and the excitability of the M1 was measured before and after a conditioning stimulus (15 min of 0.1 Hz stimulation), significant inhibition usually occurred (Chen et al., 1997)....

...Physiological and safety studies of rTMS show inhibition of the motor cortex after low-frequency stimulation, which suggests that such stimulation may be useful for suppressing the development or spread of epileptogenic activity (Wassermann et al., 1996c; Chen et al., 1997)....

...In the majority of studies, low-frequency stimulation has been applied at 1 Hz, although a smaller number of studies have utilized frequencies between 0.1 and 0.9 Hz (Chen et al., 1997; Fitzgerald et al., 2006)....

...The duration of such after-effects increases with the number of stimuli delivered, and may persist minutes to hours or even days after the end of an rTMS session (Chen et al., 1997; Maeda et al., 2000; Touge et al., 2001; Gangitano et al., 2002)....

...…strength is called long-term depression (LTD). rTMS at slow rates, approximately between 0.2 and 1 Hz, will cause a decrease in brain excitability (Chen et al., 1997). rTMS at faster rates, approximately 5 Hz or faster, will cause an increase in brain excitability (PascualLeone et al., 1994)....
