In the article experimental findings about repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
(rTMS) anticonvulsive effects are presented. We used the maximal electroshock seizure
(MES) test in rats and pentylenetetrazole model in mice which underwent of repetitive TMS
various parameters of frequency, intensity and procedures number. Our results indicate of
rTMS inhibitory effects in different experimental models of convulsions. Various frequencies
of pulsed magnetic fields can differentially change the latency, structure and duration of
experimental convulsions periods. Continuation of rTMS anticonvulsive effects investigation
provide with ample opportunity to use defined magnetic stimulation patterns in clinical
epileptology.
Key words:
experimental seizures, magnetic stimulation
