Experimental design.

Subjects underwent four BOLD-fMRI scans before and after 1-Hz real- or sham-rTMS. Simple finger-tapping tasks were performed during fMRI. After pre-rTMS fMRI, 600 biphasic stimuli of 1 Hz rTMS were given over the left M1 hand area. All subjects received 10-minute trains of 1-Hz rTMS delivered outside the fMRI scanner. Post-rTMS fMRI was performed three times starting 10 minutes after application of 10-minute trains of 1-Hz rTMS. Real- and sham-rTMS were performed on separate days.
