Modulation of electroencephalogram brain activity dynamics by 10 Hz parietal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: Implications for recovery of the minimally conscious state

Despite the fact that the parietal cortex is associated with consciousness, the underlying mechanisms of parietal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have not yet been specifically investigated. The present study aims to examine the effects of parietal rTMS on patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) and identify a novel potential target.
