• Type: Article in Periodical

• Field: Neurology, neurosurgery, neurosciences
• Keywords: rTMS; subthalamic nucleus; inferior frontal cortex; P3
• Description: The shortening of P3 latency after the modulation of IFC corresponds to increased speed of cognitive processes. The IFC via hyperdirect pathway influences cognitive processes in STN, possibly without involvement of the cortico-basal ganglia -thalamocortical circuitries.
