Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation （rTMS） research has mainly been focused on the therapeutic effect of psychiatric disorders and Parkinson＇s disease. A few studies have shown that rTMS might protect against delayed neuronal death induced by transient ischemia, enhance long-term...
