Article Abstract
We examined the safety and efficacy of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) of the right orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in patients with refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and comorbid Major Depressive Disorder. All participants (n = 26) received excitatory stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex followed by inhibitory stimulation of bilateral supplementary motor area for 10 sessions. In 18 patients with poor early OCD response, treatment was augmented with OFC inhibitory stimulation after the tenth treatment session. Augmentation with OFC stimulation was well-tolerated, and associated with further alleviation of both OCD and depression symptoms, particularly in individuals with more severe illnesses.

Background: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) leads to partial or complete sensorimotor loss because of the spinal lesions caused either by trauma or any pathological conditions. Rehabilitation, one of the therapeutic methods, is considered to be a significant part of therapy supporting patients with spinal cord injury. Newer methods are being incorporated, such as repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), a Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) technique to induce changes in the residual neuronal pathways, facilitating cortical excitability and neuroplasticity.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a comparatively inexpensive and non-invasive recording technique of neural activity, making it a valuable tool for biomarker discovery in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This systematic review aimed to examine mechanistic and predictive biomarkers, identified through TMS-EEG or resting-state EEG, of treatment response to TMS in psychiatric and neurocognitive disorders. Nineteen articles were obtained via Embase, APA PsycInfo, MEDLINE, and manual search; conditions included, unipolar depression (k = 13), Alzheimer's disease (k = 3), bipolar depression (k = 2), and schizophrenia (k = 2).

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a prevalent complication following radiotherapy for head and neck tumors, and its effective therapeutic strategies are lacking. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, has recently emerged as an important mechanism of radiation-induced cell death. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive neuro-interventional technique with antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an emerging treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders that shows initial efficacy, safety, and tolerability in adolescents with treatment-resistant depression. As research expands to clinical trials testing rTMS in youth with other diagnoses and at younger ages, it is important to consider how neurodevelopmental factors might moderate or mediate rTMS effects and factor this into clinical trial design. In the current paper, we review how key domains of neurodevelopment may interact with rTMS, including neuroanatomy, neural circuit network topography, neuroplasticity, hormones, state-dependent effects, and psychosocial development.

Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is characterized by cortico-striatal circuit dysregulation and high relapse rates, with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) emerging as a potential neuromodulatory intervention. This study investigates rTMS-induced dynamic brain network reconfigurations in 30 CUD patients using longitudinal resting-state fMRI from the SUDMEX-TMS cohort. Applying Leading Eigenvector Dynamics Analysis (LEiDA) to phase-locking states, we identified four metastable network configurations mapped to canonical resting-state networks.
