Early-stage findings on long-term behavioral effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in cortical blindness in rats

Key Points

• To evaluate the long-term behavioral effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in rats with cortical blindness.
• Evaluated vision behavior dependent on V1 using the YWM test.
• Applied Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a non-invasive intervention in rats.
• Measured correct visual discrimination task (VDT) attempts in experimental groups (EGs).
• Correct VDT attempts improved by 20-30% in experimental groups.
• A significant difference of 8% was observed between the groups.
