Abstract
To assess possible persistent cerebral effects, we acquired EEG, measured serum prolactin, and administered cognitive and motor tests before and after transcranial magnetic stimulation of 30 healthy adults. We found no detrimental effects on EEG or test performance. A slight but statistically significant decline in serum prolactin lacked correlation with the extent of stimulation.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
