Low-frequency rTMS Plays a Neuroprotective role in Pilocarpine-induced Status Epilepticus Rat Models Through the AMPAR GluA1–STIM–Ca2+ Pathway

Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) refers to the stimulation of the brain using repetitive magnetic field pulses at a low frequency (≤ 1 Hz) to reduce seizures. Currently, the mechanism is not well understood. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) and were then stimulated with low-frequency rTMS. An epilepsy cell model was then established by incubating rat hippocampal neurons with Mg
