Abstract：Recently, researches show that the motor function of hand can be improved by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimula-tion(rTMS) coupled with motor training.This study was to explore the effect of the combined method on cortical activity.19 healthy participates were randomly assigned to two different groups : rTMS coupled with motor training group and only with motor training for 14 d.Then we used standardized low resolution electromagnetic tomography analysis (sLoreta) to give cortical activity via electroencepha-lography (EEG) which recorded before and after the different exercise ways.The results showed that rTMS coupled with motor training could make EEG oscillation move from high frequency to low and the cortical activity of theta band had significantly increase.Especial-ly, which suggested that rTMS coupled with motor training might be important for the encoding coordinated activity in the multiple brain cortices.Besides, the results showed that rTMS coupled with motor training increased the partial cortical activity rather than frontal cor-tex compared to motor training, it suggested that rTMS coupled with motor training might improve the efficiency of motor cognition.This study enhances the understanding about the effects of rTMS coupled with motor training on cortical activities and will be helpful to motor recovery following stroke.
