Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene often shows a single nucleotide polymorphism that is thought to influence synaptic plasticity. It also affects the modulatory effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor cortex excitability. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether BDNF polymorphism influences the effect of rTMS on the motor recovery of patients with...
