Not Where or When, but How: Improving depression outcomes with TMS + an online workbook
Background: This objective was to see if the clinical outcomes of a combination treatment approach of repetitive TMS and an online behavioral activation workbook were significantly improved compared to TMS alone and TMS + 1:1 live psychotherapy with a licensed therapist.

Social Needs Analysis of a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Cohort in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder
Background: Little research exists into the impact of a patient ’s social wealth profile and their access to, adherence to, and benefit from Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). A clearer definition of this cohort’s social dynamics could inform holistic mental health care and aid in the identification of barriers to TM S therapy.

EEG Individual Alpha Frequencies May Predict Clinical Outcome in TMS Treatment
Background: Recent research has explored a possible relationship between patients ’ individual alpha frequency (IAF) and their response to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate a possible correlation between IAF and change in the quality of life (QoL) of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Age effects on motor threshold
Background: rTMS is a clinically effective antidepressant treatment in elderly patients1. The brain's cortical excitability depends on cortical thickness and the distance between the coil and the cortex. Both cortical thickness and the coil-cortex distance could be affected in elderly due to the cortical atrophy occurring with age2. However, previous studies3 –8 were inconsistent.

Does Experience Matter? Comparison of Response and Remission Rates over a 13 years of an Outpatient TMS Practice
Background: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with MDD who received rTMS therapy at our practice from its beginning to analyze whether our response and remission rates were improving over the recent 2 years of our clinical TMS.

Functional connectivity explains how neuronavigated TMS of posterior temporal subregions differentially affect language processing
“Wernicke's area” is most often used to describe the posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG) and refers to a region traditionally thought to support language comprehension. However, the posterior STG additionally plays a critical role in language production. The purpose of the current study was to determine to what extent regions within the posterior STG are selectively recruited during language production.

Intracranial electrical stimulation of corticolimbic sites modulates arousal in humans
Humans routinely shift their sleepiness and wakefulness levels in response to emotional factors. The diversity of emotional factors that modulates sleep-wake levels suggests that the ascending arousal network may be intimately linked with networks that mediate mood. Indeed, while animal studies have identified select limbic structures that play a role in sleep-wake regulation, the breadth of corticolimbic structures that directly modulates arousal in humans remains unknown.

Magnetic stimulation and the control of electromagnetic fields at work act (2016): An update
Dear Editor, the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations (CEMFAW) came into effect within the UK in 2016, with the purpose of implementing the European Union Physical Agents (Electromagnetic Fields [EMF]) Directive (2013/35/EU). Two Volumes of a Guide to Good Practice for implementing the EMF directive have been published, where magnetic stimulation is acknowledged as an “important and widely used technique” [[1], p 4]. However, in Volume 2 [2], a case study reports how being in close proximity of a discharged stimulating coil, exceeds the conservative EMF exposure limit value [ELV, internal electric fiel...

Corrigendum to “Magnetic-field-synchronized wireless modulation of neural activity by magnetoelectric nanoparticles” [Brain Stimulat. 15/6 (2022) 1451–1462]
The authors regret a spelling mistake in Table 1 of this article. “MENP (11s Stim; n = 321)” should read “MENP (11s Stim; n = 130)”. (Source: BRAIN STIMULATION: Basic, Translational, and Clinical Research in Neuromodulation)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation induces heart rate decelerations independent of treatment outcome
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is an effective intervention for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Despite its efficacy, the optimal target within the dlPFC remains unclear, as this brain region is large, functionally heterogeneous, and lacks reliable real-time measures of target engagement. One putative biomarker of target engagement is rTMS-induced heart rate deceleration via the fronto-vagal pathway, involving the dlPFC and vagus nerve [1].

Personalized alpha-tACS targeting left posterior parietal cortex modulates visuo-spatial attention and posterior evoked EEG activity
Covert visuo-spatial attention is marked by the anticipatory lateralization of neuronal alpha activity in the posterior parietal cortex. Previous applications of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) at the alpha frequency, however, were inconclusive regarding the causal contribution of oscillatory activity during visuo-spatial attention.
