Abstract

In summary, rTMS is a safe, relatively noninvasive new technology that allows for the direct stimulation of cortical brain regions. It appears that rTMS at different frequencies has divergent effects on brain activity and can modulate mood in health and disease. The clinical role of rTMS in treating depression remains unclear. Many different groups are studying TMS effects on mood and the field is advancing rapidly. TMS is an exciting area with promise as a research and clinical tool.
