Orbitofrontal Cortex Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that is a safe and efficacious treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). Conventional rTMS in MDD targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) or the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC). …

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation as a treatment for persistent auditory verbal hallucinations
… for some patients that experience AVHs. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation that can inhibit cortical activity in brain regions shown to be hyperactive during AVHs. We studied the effectiveness of repetitive TMS (rTMS) as a treatment for persistent …

Predictors of Response to Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment in Adolescent Major Depressive Disorder
… treatment options and response is unpredictable. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a novel treatment option while pre-treatment cortical thickness may be an objective biomarker predictive of response. Twenty-three youth (12-21 years; 11 female) with treatment-resistant …

Neurobiological Correlates of Anxiety and Comorbid Social Phobia in Adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder: A Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Trial
This study examined repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for adolescents with major depressive disorder. The study was exploratory, considering the potential influence of comorbid anxiety on treatment response and neurobiological correlates. Adolescents underwent a …

Revealing Connections in Object and Scene Processing Using Consecutive TMS and fMR-Adaptation
… In order to determine these connections repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and functional magnetic resonance-adaptation (fMR-A) were paired together. rTMS was applied to object-selective lateral occipital (LO) and scene-selective transverse occipital sulcus (TOS). …

Management of treatment resistant depression /
… encompassing psychotherapeutic methods and brain stimulation techniques like electroconvulsive therapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, can be considered when discussing the management of Treatment-Resistant Depression. Challenges such as issues with treatment adherence and the …

Non invasive brain stimulation : modeling and experimental analysis of transcranial magnetic stimulations and transcranial DC stimulation as a modality for neuropathology treatment
This thesis will explore the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial DC Stimulation (tDCS) as modalities for neuropathology treatment by means of both experimental and modeling paradigms. The first and primary modality that will be analyzed is Transcranial Magnetic …

IMAGING THE GLUTAMATERGIC SYSTEM WITH GLUCEST MRI: CYTOARCHITECTURE, AGING, AND INTERVENTION
… Third, a meta-analysis of twelve proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies reveals that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a neuromodulatory treatment for depression, significantly increases glutamatergic metabolites in clinical responders, with evidence of …

PET-imaging in depression and antidepressant therapies : focus on the serotonin system and the cerebral glucose metabolism
… focuses on rats and the current position of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the rat. Hereby, several additional objectives were put forward. The first objective comprised the evaluation of the accuracy of a for rodents adapted human neuronavigation system to perform …

Suicidal Ideation and Treatment-Resistant Depression: Clinical Endophenotype Characterization and Exploration of Novel Brain Stimulation Interventions
… in this thesis, I explore novel brain stimulation interventions for the treatment of SI and TRD. Bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and magnetic seizure therapy (MST) are assessed for their efficacy through secondary analyses of large clinical trials. Findings …

Rule-dependent and stimulus-dependent visuomotor mappings of other's actions
… in this biphasic pattern by means of the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). The double-dissociation between the effects of offline rTMS to the lateral prefrontal and parietal cortices, on the early and late components, allowed us to hypothesize the presence of two …

Functional Role of the Cerebellar Vermis in Emotional Processing in Bipolar Disorder
… uses for technologies such as deep brain stimulation and deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Future studies need to address the directionality of the relationship, if any, between these regions.

Investigating the effects of oscillating sounds on the memory of older populations
… studies have induced theta oscillations using transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). We hypothesized that oscillatory auditory stimulation could similarly entrain theta rhythms in a less invasive, more cost-efficient manner. …

The Neurocognitive Dynamics Underlying Loss of Control in Alcohol Misuse and Addiction
… interventions, via pharmacological or neurostimulation methods (Yee et al., 2015). Central to this thesis is a detailed examination of two intimately connected endophenotypes emblematic of the “loss of control” inherent to the addiction cycle (Robbins et al., 2012): impulsivity (i.e., …

Stimulus parameters influencing cortical responses by transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting I-wave dynamics : duration, intensity and interval between interventions
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) modulates corticomotor excitability and plasticity; however, the magnitude of the effects appears to depend on a range of stimulus parameters. Three possible critical factors of repetitive TMS (rTMS) interventions are the duration of application, the …
