Synchronous and opposite roles of the parietal and prefrontal cortices in bistable perception: a double-coil TMS-EEG study.
TL;DR: It is suggested that when the visual world is ambiguous, IPS plays a stabilizing role, whereas DLPFC is important for triggering perceptual switches or for modulating parietal activity.
Time-dependent changes in cortical excitability after prolonged visual deprivation.
TL;DR: Light deprivation is characterized by a transient increase in visual cortical excitability, followed by a sustained decrease in visual cortex excitability that quickly returns to baseline levels after re-exposure to light.
Locating the Motor Cortex on the MRI with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and PET

TL;DR: Transcranial magnetic stimulation with a focal coil was used to map the cortical representation of a hand muscle in four healthy subjects, demonstrating the accuracy of transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for locating the primary motor area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cognitive effects of two types of antidepressant treatments in PD patients: fluoxetine (20 mg/day) versus repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS, 15 Hz, 110% above motor threshold, 10 daily sessions) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were compared.
