Neurology

The Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) System from Nexstim creates an accurate and detailed map of the critical functions of the cortex using a standard MRI brain scan.

NBS uses stereotactic MRI-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to non-invasively excite precise areas of the cortex. Sophisticated, real-time data processing and modelling enables unsurpassed accuracy and control of the electric filed (E-field) inside the brain. Integrated EMG monitoring instantly shows the responses to stimuli in the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nerves. NBS results are presented as detailed colour maps of the critical eloquent areas visualized in a 3-D rendering of the brain.

Nexstim NBS has a wide range of other diagnostic applications, including testing for motor tract integrity following stroke.
