Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of TMS-based measures of cortical reactivity and plasticity in patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and type II diabetes mellitus (DM2) versus healthy controls (HC): • TMS-based measures of cortical reactivity and plasticity in participants with IFG, patients with DM2, and in healthy controls. • Comparison of iTBS measures of plasticity with HOMA scores. • Comparison of iTBS measures of plasticity with fasting glucose levels | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • The impact of APOE (Apoliprotein E) and BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) polymorphisms on the measures of reactivity and plasticity. • The determination whether levels of tau influence the TMS measures of reactivity and plasticity. | — |
