| 3-6) Investigations with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have identified profound cortical reorganization in individuals with SCI whose muscles distal to the lesion have decreased cortical motor representation compared with individuals who are not disabled (eg, a smaller cortical motor hand representation in individuals with cervical SCI). We suggest that the tinnitus in these 2 patients was induced by changes in brain activity resulting from transcranial magnetic stimulation of the prefrontal cortex. The researchers used a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation to generate mild magnetic pulses that briefly activated the right-premotor area of each participant's brain. |
