bacterial microbial diversity of rat fecal in PSD/PSD+ HF-rTMS/Baseline groups
We hypothesized that PSD could influence the composition of gut microbial communities and metabolites, which may be modified by HF-rTMS, resulting in improved swallowing function. To verify this, we investigated these mechanisms by integrating fecal metabolomics and 16S rRNA sequencing at the rat level.
