What’s Next in Clinical TMS Study for PTSD, MDD
In a recently-published commentary, researchers discussed the growing interest in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), and what it brings in patient symptoms.
Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Cognition in Spastic Cerebral Palsy Children
In cerebral palsy (CP) cognitive development is one of the major problems seen which hamper the mental development and deprive the child to achieve normal development to survive the normal quality of life.
Brain Stimulation May Improve Cognitive Functioning Faster and More Efficiently
Working memory is the amount of information you can hold and manipulate in the mind at one time and is something that brain training activities designed for the elderly revolve around.
Transcranial Brain Stimulation May Improve Cognition and Memory
A key concept in demonstrating improvement of the working memory system is task transfer – if working memory has been improved, then that improvement should be evident...
The Impact Of Early Visual Cortex Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation On Visual Working Memory Precision And Guess Rate
Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that activity patterns in early visual areas predict stimulus properties actively maintained in visual working memory.
Can’t Conquer Depression? How Magnets Can Help
Most people with depression feel better with treatment. But about 30 percent can’t seem to shake off their depression. This is especially true if you respond poorly — or don’t respond at all — to antidepressants.
tDCS-induced Modulation of GABA Levels and Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Older Adults
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulates human behavior, neuronal patterns and metabolite concentrations, with exciting potential for neurorehabilitation.
Efficacy of theta burst stimulation (TBS) for major depression: An exploratory meta-analysis of randomized and sham-controlled trials
Theta burst stimulation (TBS) has been proposed as a novel treatment for major depression (MD). However, randomized and sham-controlled trials (RCTs) published to date have yielded heterogeneous clinical results and we have thus carried out the present systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis of RCTs to evaluate this issue.
