TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION AFFECT ON CORRELATION DIMENSION OF ELECTROENCEPHOGRAPHY IN TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPTIC RAT
经颅磁刺激对癫痫病灶脑电相关维数的影响

To evaluate the effect of low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation for treatment of the temporal lobe epilepsy rats induced by lithium-pilocarpine, appropriate intensity of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) were administrated to the temporal lobe of epileptic rats on the focus of lesion. Correlation dimension of EEG from frontal lobes, temporal lobes and hippocampus were calculated and compared during the whole course of low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation administration. Results show that appropriate intensity of low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (0.4 T, 20 times per day for a week) can promote the correlation dimension of EEG from cortex and hippocampus and improve brain function. It suggests that appropriate rTMS has antiepileptic effect.
