We used a randomized, single-blind, controlled study. Two streams were conducted. Stream 1 receiv

## Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the potential efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) at low-frequency in patients with major depression and schizophrenia. ## Experimental design: We investigated the therapeutic effect of a course of 10 rtms sessions in 1
To obtain suitable stimulus conditions for transcranial magnetic stimulation, the evoked compound muscle action potential (ECMAP), evoked spinal cord potential (ESCP), and magnetic and electric fields were analyzed in cats with and without the use of a magnetic field shield. Cats were stimulated usi
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used in the diagnosis of neurological lesions and has been introduced into the therapy of central nervous diseases. Lately it has been claimed that TMS would be useful not only in the treatment of depression, but also in relieving symptoms of Parkinso
