Identification of reproducible individualized targets for treatment of depression with TMS based on intrinsic connectivity (2012, neutral): “Repetitive transcranialmagnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that is showing utility in the treatment of a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders (Burt et al., 2002; Fregni and Pascual-Leone, 2007; Hallett, 2007).”
Safety, ethical considerations, and application guidelines for the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation in clinical practice and research (2009, background): “…a promising noninvasive treatment for a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions (Devlin and Watkins, 2007; George et al., 2007; Aleman et al., 2007; Fregni and Pascual-Leone, 2007), and the number of applications continues to increase with a large number of ongoing clinical trials in a variety of…”
Removing brakes on adult brain plasticity: from molecular to behavioral interventions (2010, background): “, 2010a), targeted pharmacological manipulation (Fluoxetine), or even brain stimulation to alter E/I balance directly (Fregni and Pascual-Leone, 2007; Thompson et al., 2008).”
A systematic review on reporting and assessment of adverse effects associated with transcranial direct current stimulation. (2011, methodology): “Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulatory technique that uses weak, direct electric currents delivered through the scalp to the neuronal tissue to induce changes in cortical excitability according to the parameters of stimulation (Fregni & Pascual-Leone, 2007).”
SimNIBS 2.1: A Comprehensive Pipeline for Individualized Electric Field Modelling for Transcranial Brain Stimulation (2018, background): “Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) aims at modulating brain activity by inducing electric fields in the brain [1].”
Measuring and manipulating brain connectivity with resting state functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (2012, background): “In addition to being a powerful research tool, significant clinical effects have been observed across a wide variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions (Burt et al., 2002; Fregni and Pascual-Leone, 2007; Hallett, 2007), and Neuronetics®' Neurostar TMS protocol has been approved by the US Foo”
Focused ultrasound modulates region-specific brain activity (2011, neutral): “Both modalities have shown the capability to either increase (via anodal tDCS or high frequency repetitive TMS) or decrease (via cathodal tDCS or repetitive TMS given in 1 Hz) the cortical excitability (Fregni and Pascual-Leone, 2007).”
Harnessing neuroplasticity for clinical applications (2011, neutral): “Note too that early brain injury can impair subsequent plasticity (Failor et al., 2010).”
