Abstract
The mechanisum of the functional recovery by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is not studied fully yet. In this study we analysed the memory and behavior, and with changes of the neurotransmitters, by using tha passive avoidance method and elevated plus-maze test, and microdialysis methed. As the results, rTMS does not change the memory compared with electric convulsive test. And the serotonin level in group of rTMS is correlated with anxiolytic effect, compared with the group of sham and control in small animals. rTMS might induce the slow EEG in human, which might be related with anxiolytic effect by rTMS. Apparenty rTMS has the effect on the brain, and it has the great possibility to make the neural reorganization.
