To identify whether rTMS can boost the neuronal progenitor cell pool and newly formed immature neurons in the peri-infarct region after stroke, we co-stained slices for Nestin/SOX2 (Figure 1 (a-e)) and Nestin/Tuj1 (Figure 1 (f-j)) for analysis by confocal microscopy. This evidence concerns the gene NES and stroke disorder.
