Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation in awake rats: Enhanced glucose uptake in deep cortical layers

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an emerging neuromodulation tool. However, preclinical models of TMS are limited.To develop a method for performing TMS in awake rats and to characterize neuronal response to TMS by mapping glucose uptake following TMS administration.A headpost was implanted into rat skull serving as a refence to guide TMS target. Motor threshold measurement was used as the metric to assess the consistency in TMS...
