Design and Evaluation of a Rodent ‐Specific Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Coil: An In Silico and In Vivo Validation Study

ConclusionComputer simulations motivated the design of a smaller rodent ‐specific TMS coil, but came short in explaining the capability of a larger commercial human coil to induce unilateral MEPsin vivo. Lateralized TMS, as demonstrated for both TMS coils, corroborates their use in translational rodent studies, to elucidate mechanisms of action of therapeutic TMS protocols.
