The Japanese rTMS experience – Present and future
Fig. 8 coil, which is popular now, was invented by Prof. Ueno in 1988 and spread globally. The rTMS machines were developed in Europe and imported to Japan from 2001 and spread over Japan. The clinical treatments with rTMS have been mainly used for Parkinson’s syndrome, neuropathic pain, depression and rehabilitation after stroke. rTMS of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Neuronetics Inc) for depression is already used in Japanese private clinic, and will be approved by Japanese government in the near future.

P 194. The EEG correlates of the TMS induced EMG silent period in humans
Application of magnetic or electrical stimulation to the motor cortex can result in a period of electromyography (EMG) silence in a tonically active peripheral muscle. This period of EMG silence is referred to as the silent period (SP). The duration of SP shows intersubject variability and reflects the integrity of the cortical and corticospinal pathways. A non-invasive technique for assessing the duration of SP is the combination of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with EMG. Utilizing TMS-EMG, several studies have reported on the shortening or lengthening of SP in neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, b...

P 162. The effects of direct current stimulation on motor cortex excitability in children and adolescents
Conclusion: Our study will provide new insight into the principles of tDCS stimulation and its therapeutic value in treatment of childhood neurological and psychiatric disorders. This may further refine the effective use of tDCS in pediatric population.
