Transcranial magnetic stimulation in neurology
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
TLDR
A putative future application of rTMS may be the treatment of patients who did not tolerate or did not respond to antidepressant pharmacotherapy before trying more invasive strategies such as electroconvulsive therapy and vagus nerve stimulation.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation reduces nociceptive threshold in rats
TLDR
The results suggest that high‐frequency TMS can alter the nociceptive threshold and produce allodynia in the rats; results suggest the involvement of NMDA and AMPA/KA receptors on TMS‐induced allodynian in the rat.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
TLDR
Historical and technical aspects of TMS are reviewed, its adverse effects and how to avoid them are described, the applications of T MS in the investigation of different cerebral functions are summarized, and the possibility of using TMS for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders is discussed.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation
TLDR
Being able to induce relatively long-lasting excitability changes, repetitive TMS has made the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases linked with brain excitability dysfunctions possible, and TMS-EEG co-registration is considered a promising approach to evaluate corticocortical connectivity and brain reactivity with high temporal resolution.
Combining Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation with (f)MRI
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive and painless tool for the electrical stimulation of the human cortex (Barker et al. 1985). TMS depolarizes cortical neurons and can evoke…

TLDR
A central motor conduction time can be calculated; this is defined as the latency difference between the motor evoked potentials induced by stimulation of the motor cortex and those evoked by spinal (motor root) stimulation.

Depression of motor cortex excitability by low‐frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation
TLDR
Spread of excitation, which may be a warning sign for seizures, occurred in one subject and was not accompanied by increased MEP amplitude, suggesting that spread ofexcitation and amplitude changes are different phenomena and also indicating the need for adequate monitoring even with stimulations at low frequencies.

TLDR
It is suggested that neurochemical effects induced by rTMS do not lead to reduced neuronal viability, and may even reduce the detrimental effects of oxidative stress in neurons.

TLDR
The data suggest that TMS might indeed have a relevant antidepressive efficacy and there was an improvement of depressive symptoms in both verum groups, more pronounced in the ‘stimulation below threshold’ group.

TLDR
Results indicate that TMS produces a long-term reduction in efficacy of central modulatory systems, particularly in rats treated with chronic TMS.

TLDR
A controlled clinical trial on patients affected by major depression using TMS as add-on therapy to standard antidepressive medication and finding a statistically significantly greater remission of depressive symptoms occurred in patients of group 1.
