Penn Research Reveals Brain Region Crucial for Using Boundaries to Navigate
Part of what differentiates that scene from a face or an object is the fact that it has boundaries, and University of Pennsylvania researchers Joshua Julian, Russell Epstein, Jack Ryan and Roy Hamilton aimed to parse out which part of the brain helps perceive those borders. What they learned, through two experiments involving transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS,...
Magnetic Brain Stimulation Might Treat Cocaine Addiction
Stimulating part of the brain with magnetic pulses may offer the first therapeutic treatment for cocaine addiction, a small new study suggests.
At the Library: Getting through depression without drugs
A resident of Danbury, Rhodes is a wife, mother and former advertising executive. She is now a proponent of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
People Fighting Depression Discover Little-Known Treatment
The treatment, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), could help many of the patients who remain trapped by major depression even after trying a whole menu of antidepress
TMS offers hope for depression sufferers
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is a relatively new treatment for depression. It produces magnetic pulses similar to those found in MRI machines, but precisely targeted to certain areas of the brain to produce a therapeutic response.
Brain Stimulation May Be Key to Full Recovery After Stroke
Most stroke patients stop improving after three months. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be a way to extend that deadline.
TMS Health Education Announces The Advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Symposium
SACRAMENTO, CA, December 23, 2015 /satPRnews.com/ — TMS Health Education, which offers accredited courses from the world’s leaders in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) announced that it will be hosting the first-ever Advanced TMS Symposium.
Your Brain Recovers Memories Faster Than the Blink of an Eye
Using a brain scanner, scientists have discovered that memories can be recovered in just a tenth of a second - around a third of the time needed to blink. Previous research had estimated this at around five tenths of a second. The researchers also found retrieval can be obstructed if the person is subjected to repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), in which a magnetic coil is placed on their head.
