Introductory Chapter: Introduction to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Neuropsychiatry
Original language description
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neurostimulation (or neuromodulation) method. The principle of TMS is based on the Faraday's principle of electromagnetic induction. Around the primary coil, through which a time-varying current is flowing, a changing magnetic field is created, which is able to induce a secondary current in conductors (including human brain) within its reach. It was not until 1985 when Barker and his collaborators developed a device that could generate a magnetic field of sufficient intensity to depolarize cortical neurons. The generated magnetic field lasts approximately 100-300 ms, and its intensity usually ranges from 1.0 to 2.5 T. Secondary current induces depolarization or hyperpolarization of cortical neurons-only neurons up to 1.5-2.0 cm from the stimulation coil can be influenced directly, but deeper parts of the brain can be influenced via transsynaptic connections. TMS causes activation of neurons, metabolic, hemodynamic, and behavioral changes.
