A multimodal approach using TMS and EEG reveals neurophysiological changes in Parkinson's disease

Alterations in large scale neural networks leading to neurophysiological changes have been described in Parkinson's disease (PD). The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) has been suggested as a promising tool to identify and quantify neurophysiological mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate specific changes in electrical brain activity in response to stimulation of four brain areas in patients with PD.
