Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

• Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses a highly focused pulsed magnetic field to stimulate cortical neurons.

• Targets stimulation of the left and right prefrontal cortex, and other targets as appropriate.

• Modulates deeper brain regions involved in mood regulation.

• Directly depolarizes cortical neurons and modulates neurotransmitter release.

• Increases cerebral blood flow and glucose metabolism.

 

 

These changes can result in improved mood.
