Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Rapid-Acting Brain Stimulation Method May Reduce Major Depression by Reversing Information Flow Between Brain Regions
In their efforts to understand the beneficial effects of SAINT, an important new fast-acting brain stimulation treatment for refractory major depression, researchers now think they understand why it… Read More
Study Indicates How rTMS Treatments Alter Neural Connectivity Brain-Wide in Treatment-Resistant Depressed Patients, a Clue to Predict Who Will Benefit
Over the last decade, rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, has become a first-line treatment option for depressed patients, including those… Read More
Brain Network Analysis Reveals a Depression – Multiple Sclerosis Connection
Depression among people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been estimated to be about three times more common than in the general population. No one knows why.  It may well be true that… Read More
Team Uses Non-Invasive TMS Brain Stimulation to Activate Deep-Brain Region Important in Depression
A research team led by a three-time recipient of BBRF grants has successfully tested a method of using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive method of brain stimulation, to activate… Read More
A 'Common Causal Circuit' in Depression with Possible Therapeutic Implications
If you want to cure an illness, you try to understand its underlying cause or causes, as a precondition for modifying, reducing, or eliminating them. That, in highly simplified terms, is one of the… Read More
