Figure 4.
Schematic diagram of the Phase 1 rTMS protocol where each patient’s Best Response RH ROI was established. Snodgrass & Vanderwart (S&V) (1980) picture naming was tested immediately before, and after, each ROI was suppressed with 10 mins of 1 Hz rTMS. Baseline naming ability for a set of S&V pictures had been established, across 3 sessions, at Entry, for each patient. Naming scores obtained immediately following a 10 mins TMS session had to be associated with at least a 2 SD improvement above Baseline S&V naming (obtained at Entry) to be considered the Best Response RH area for that patient.
