Results of the right finger-tapping task during four BOLD fMRI scans before and after 1-Hz rTMS of the left (A) and right SMA (B). Group one sample t-test maps had no threshold to show time course of changes in whole brain neural activity. (A) A time course of BOLD activity in the left SMA showed changes from positive responses (activation) from pre-stimulation to negative responses (deactivation) at post2, then back to positive responses (activation) at post3. (B) Time course of BOLD activity in the right SMA showed changes from positive responses (activation) at pre-stimulation to negative responses (deactivation) at post2 and post3. (*) P < 0.05 and (**) P < 0.01. Plots showed means (lines) and SEMs (shading) of percentage signal changes.
