Article Synopsis
- - The review evaluated how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) affects unilateral spatial neglect (USN) in post-stroke patients, revealing significant improvements through various testing methods (e.g., line bisection test, cancelation test).
- - It was found that excitatory rTMS on the same side of the brain as the stroke is generally more effective in reducing neglect symptoms compared to inhibitory rTMS on the opposite side.
- - Additionally, rTMS was particularly beneficial for patients at the acute stage post-stroke (within 3 months), suggesting that earlier treatment could lead to better recovery outcomes for USN.
Background: This study examined the neural processes associated with the generalization of the effect of context-specific (CS) training to noncontextual situations among individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: Fourteen and 16 participants with MCI were randomly allocated to a Chinese calligraphy writing (CW) training or a control group, respectively. The CW participants learned how to write Chinese strokes in a semicursive style to construct characters, tapping on working memory functions.
