Abnormal Global Cortical Responses in Drug-naïve Patients with Schizophrenia following Orbitofrontal Cortex Stimulation: A Concurrent TMS-EEG Study

Abnormalities in cortical excitability and plasticity have been considered to underlie the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) can provide a direct evaluation of cortical responses to TMS. Here, we employed TMS-EEG to investigate cortical responses to orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) stimulation in schizophrenia.
