Intermittent theta burst stimulation improves 6-OHDA-induced motor dysfunction. Motor performance in control and 6-OHDA-lesioned rats following iTBS treatment was evaluated using rota-rod (A–F) and cylinder test. Rota-rod measured the latency to fall (s) and travelled distance (m) after first, (A,D) second (B,E) and third (C,F) week of stimulation. Cylinder test measured the contralateral forelimb contacts with the wall (G). Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Results of post hoc Tukey’s test and significance are shown inside the graphs: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. Dots in the graphs represent the values of individual animals.
