Electronically Switchable Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) System
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is increasingly being used to demonstrate the causal links between brain and behavior in humans. Further, extensive clinical trials are being conducted to investigate the therapeutic role of TMS in disorders such as depression. Because TMS causes strong peripheral effects such as auditory clicks and muscle twitches, experimental artifacts such as subject ...
متن کاملA real electro-magnetic placebo (REMP) device for sham transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
OBJECTIVE There is growing interest in neuropsychiatry for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a neuromodulatory treatment. However, there are limitations in interpreting rTMS effects as a real consequence of physiological brain changes or as placebo-mediated unspecific effects, which may be particularly strong in psychiatric patients. This is due to the fact that existing sh...
متن کاملNon Invasive Brain Stimulation by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): Principles and Applications
Magnetic brain stimulation used as a method of psychological interventions in the treatment of diseases. This method functions used in the treatment of clinical disorder such as speech and movement disorders caused by stroke, tinnitus, Parkinson's disease, nervous tics. Applications in the field of psychological therapy, it is possible to stimulate specific brain area involved in certain mental...
متن کاملTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) inhibits cortical dendrites
One of the leading approaches to non-invasively treat a variety of brain disorders is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). However, despite its clinical prevalence, very little is known about the action of TMS at the cellular level let alone what effect it might have at the subcellular level (e.g. dendrites). Here, we examine the effect of single-pulse TMS on dendritic activity in layer 5 p...
متن کاملTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in controlled treatment studies: are some "sham" forms active?
BACKGROUND Carefully designed controlled studies are essential in further evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in psychiatric disorders. A major methodological concern is the design of the "sham" control for TMS. An ideal sham would produce negligible cortical stimulation in conjunction with a scalp sensation akin to real treatment. Strategies employed ...
