Abstract:Post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI) is a common functional disorder after stroke, but effective therapies are limited. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique, has been increasingly applied to aid recovery of cognitive function. Despite the wide application of rTMS in clinical researches, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undetermined. This study hypothesized that rTMS improves PSCI by regulating the expressions of SDF-1α/CXCR-4, which of vital si… Show more
