Background:

The previous studies have detected changes of brain electrical activity (current density) after cerebellar rTMS. We suppose that right cerebellar rTMS evokes changes in the left frontal cortex. The aim of our study was to determine if 1Hz and 10Hz cerebellar rTMS induces antagonistic effect in frontal electrical activity.

Methods:

We used 10 minutes of 10 Hz and 10 minutes of 1 Hz rTMS (both with 600 impulses, application over the right cerebellar hemisphere) in two sessions. 31-channel EEG was recorded in 10 right-handed healthy volunteers before and after rTMS. The 3D distribution of the current density was revealed by a method of qEEG- Low Resolution Brain Electromagentic Tomography (LORETA, Pascual-Marqui et al. 1994; 1999).

Results:

After right cerebellar 1 Hz rTMS the current density decreased in the alfa2, beta1, beta2 and beta3 band over the frontal cortex including medial frontal cortex and anterior cingulate. After 10 Hz rTMS we found a decrease over the frontal cortex in the delta, theta and alfa1 band bilaterally, more on the left side (p<0.01).

Conclusions:

Our results suggest the possibility to influence the frontal cortical activity by means of the cerebellar 1Hz and 10 Hz rTMS (antagonistic effect in the frontal cortex- decrease in slow frequencies after 1 Hz and in fast frequencies after 10 Hz rTMS).
