Measure
Non-responders Undergo rTMS of the Right Superior Temporal Sulcus (STS)
Non-responders to protocol #8116 will receive a type of TMS called repetitive TMS (rTMS) wherein the magnetic pulses delivered will be close together in a rapid sequence. They will be administered 10 days (10 sessions) of MRI-guided 1 Hz rTMS delivered to the right superior temporal sulcus (STS). The rTMS parameters that will be used are a frequency of 1 Hz (1 pulse per second) at an intensity of 90% of the motor threshold (MT). Therefore, the investigators will deliver 1200 continuous pulses per session/day which adds up to 12,000 pulses in total for the whole treatment. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): During the rTMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed on the scalp of the subject's head. The electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of the brain involved in speech perception.
Partial Responders Undergo rTMS of the Left Temporo-parietal Junction (TPJ)
Partial responders to protocol #8116 will receive a type of TMS called repetitive TMS (rTMS) wherein the magnetic pulses delivered will be close together in a rapid sequence. They will be administered 10 days (10 sessions) of MRI-guided 1 Hz rTMS delivered to the original left temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) target. The rTMS parameters that will be used are a frequency of 1 Hz (1 pulse per second) at an intensity of 90% of the motor threshold (MT). Therefore, the investigators will deliver 1200 continuous pulses per session/day which adds up to 12,000 pulses in total for the whole treatment. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): During the rTMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed on the scalp of the subject's head. The electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of the brain involved in speech perception.
Complete Responders Undergo Four Follow-up Clinical Assessments
Complete responders to protocol #8116 will be offered followup clinical assessments at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks to assess sustainability of their response.
