Featured Research Article: Effect of sleep quality on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation outcomes in depression
Clinical TMS Society Journal
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is the only journal dedicated to clinical and basic studies related to TMS. The journal aims to improve the clinical effectiveness of TMS for brain disorders through articles pertaining to clinical efficacy and effectiveness safety for investigational and FDA-cleared indications; studies focused on TMS mechanisms, biomarkers, technologic advances, parameter space selection, epidemiological, ethical, legal, and safety aspects.

A recent study has raised questions about the impact of chronic caffeine consumption on our brain’s ability to adapt and learn. In a new study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, scientists found that long-term caffeine users may exhibit decreased brain plasticity, a critical factor in the processes of learning and memory, when subjected to a brain stimulation protocol.
Neuroscience News
The research indicates that regular caffeine users might experience diminished long-term potentiation (LTP), a crucial process for learning and memory. This reduction in brain plasticity suggests that daily caffeine intake could influence cognitive functions and the success of rTMS treatments.
