High-frequency rTMS attenuates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and modulates mTOR-related signaling and brain-gut-immune phenotypes in MCAO/R rats.
BACKGROUND High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may promote neurological recovery after ischemic stroke, but its protective effects after MCAO/R and associations with neurotrophic factors, mTOR-related autophagy markers, systemic inflammation, and gut microbiota phenotypes remain unclear....
