The multi-professional targeted approach of neurorehabilitation can enhance recovery of functional deficits beyond spontaneous recovery and consequently improve quality of life: Specifically tailored therapeutic interventions address very specific information processes in the brain, re-train skills and thereby improve performance and abilities step by step. As a consequence of training, centres within the brain responsible for these functions become effectively re-actived, functional re-organisation of the brain occurs and ensures long-term benefits of training therapy.
The non-invasive brain stimulation techniques of repetitive or patterned transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can focally influence the excitability of specific brain areas and might promote these functional adaptations in concert with and potentially beyond training therapy. rTMS holds much promise as a potential therapeutic intervention in a wide range of neurological conditions. However, many questions need to be addressed before a more widespread use in clinical practise can be recommended. The symposium on brain stimulation and brain recovery will shed light on these issues.
State-of-the-art knowledge about rTMS effects from animal experiments to clinical trials in conditions such as stroke, Parkinson disease and depression will be presented by senior researchers in the field from all around the world coming from various neuroscience and medical fields. This concentrated multi-disciplinary in depth approach on brain stimulation with rTMS and recovery will facilitate our understanding of mechanisms, effects, and therapeutic potentials of rTMS, and will promote future research from bench to bed side. The results of the symposium will timely be made available with a special issue of the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
