Synopsis

Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) provided promising results to facilitate the language recovery in stroke patients with non-fluent aphasia ¹. The contralesional inhibitory LF-rTMS treatment can induce the functional reorganization within language networks and recovery of language function in chronic aphasic stroke ^{2, 3}. This study evaluated the right microstructural integrity of the arcuate fasciculus before the intervention and its association with the language improvement after the LF-rTMS treatment.
