Impact of Priming on Effectiveness of TMS in Detecting Language-eloquent Brain Areas in Tumor Patients

Conclusion Prior cortical activity as induced by the priming stimulation has a profound impact on the responsiveness to the nrTMS mapping paradigm. Our findings further showed that metaplasticity, a type of homeostatic plastic process, could be elicited even in cortical areas affected by a growing tumor.
