Because several targets of s-TMS studies play an important role in cognitive performance, the excitation or inhibition of these cortical areas could impair the patient’s performance in certain cognitive domains. Long-term studies assessing the effects of TMS on cognition have, in fact, shown…
Late stages of Lyme disease include cognitive impairment, such as memory loss, slowed handling of information and substandard abstract reasoning. High frequency deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) over the left prefrontal cortex (lPFC) has been shown to improve cognitive functioning for patients…
Brain network dysfunction, particularly within the default mode network (DMN), is an increasingly apparent contributor to the clinical progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can target key DMN hubs, maintain signaling function, and delay or improve clinical outcomes…
Focal rTMS has been applied to improve cognition in Alzheimer's disease (AD) with conflicting results. H Coils are suitable for targeting wider neuronal structures compared with traditional Figure-8 coils. In particular, the H2 Coil stimulates simultaneously the frontal-parietal-temporal lobes bilaterally. Objective: Evaluate…
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) represent two of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. Notably, it is estimated that 30%-50% of individuals with AD have co-occurring MDD and there are overlapping symptoms across numerous domains. Methods: In this pilot study,…
The optimal dose (number of pulses per session) of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), using the H-coil, in major depressive disorder (MDD) has not previously been reported. Objective: To explore the relationship between rTMS dose and antidepressant effect, and collect data for…
Adaptive decision making requires the adjustment of behavior following an error in order to improve future performance, but OCD patients are characterized by abnormal error monitoring. For example, in cognitive tasks like Flanker or Stroop, reaction time (RT) following commission of an…
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is a modern non-invasive brain stimulation method demonstrated as effective in the treatment of major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Objective: This review aims to survey present knowledge concerning the cognitive function changes identified in dTMS research. …
