Improving the reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting
… in the human brain can be locally activated with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS is applied to study brain dynamics, to map cortical functions, and to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders. In TMS, an electric field is induced in the brain. The location of the electric field …

ULTRASTRUCTURAL NEURONAL MODELING OF CALCIUM DYNAMICS UNDER TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
… the ultrastructural scale. One mode of external stimulation is by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and repetitive TMS (rTMS). TMS is a noninvasive brain stimulation method to modulate humanbrain activity by generating a strong magnetic field near the cranium. The magnetic field induces an …

Motor Resonance meets Motor Performance: Neurocognitive investigations with transcranial magnetic stimulation
The classical mirror neuron theory of action understanding asserts that when we observe an action, the representations that are engaged for performing it, are automatically activated. In order to do gain information about the role of the simulation in action understanding a state dependent TMS …

USING TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION TO EXAMINE AND MODULATE BRAIN CIRCUITS IN SCHIZOPHRENIA
… around these putative biological targets. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a neurostimulation technique that leverages electromagnetic induction to non-invasively induce targeted electric currents in the brain cortex. One important advantage of TMS over other brain stimulation …

Mechanisms of processing visual motion information: Psychophysical, bioelectrical and transcranial magnetic stimulation investigations
Liikumise tajumine on meie nägemissüsteemi üks olulisemaid funktsioone, võimaldades meil pidevalt muutuvad keskkonnas toime tulla ning ellu jääda. Oma funktsioonile vääriliselt keerukas on aga ka liikumisinformatsiooni töötlevate ja kasutavate mehhanismide töö ning tihtipeale mõjutavad nende tööd …

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). …

EXPLORING COVERT MOTOR PROCESSES: BEHAVIORAL INSIGHTS AND INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
… 1 muscle × 1 action (1m1a) approach, in which transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied to the motor cortex and motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) are recorded from a single target muscle. While informative, this method reduces complex motor representations to isolated joints …

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
… 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 depression (TRD) …

Testing the Efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Treating Depression in Patients with Cognitive Impairment
… of this study is to (1) examine the efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in treating depression among individuals with cognitive impairment and (2) to examine if TMS is capable of facilitating cognitive improvements independent of mood improvements. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) …

Inhibitory effect of subthreshold transcranial magnetic stimulation on the stretch-evoked long latency response of forearm muscles
… of this work was to develop a synchronized stimulation method including robotic perturbations, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and surface electromyography (EMG), which would allow to decouple the contributions of cortical and subcortical brain areas to LLRs. ☐ In part I, we present …

Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on cognitive control and on the autonomic nervous system
With transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) it is possible to influence the activity of cortical structures and to investigate the effects on behaviour. In the present thesis the impact of TMS over the prefrontal cortex, particularly the DLPFC, on the inhibition of initiated responses, an …

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 …

Understanding the Role of the Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Emotional Memory using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
… memory tasks two using non-invasive brain stimulation techniques; transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was used to increase cortical excitability of the VLFPC in Experiment 1 and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to inhibit the VLPFC in Experiment 2. Experiment 1 …
