Abstract: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is used to treat different neuropsychiatric Maxconditions Musterman, Paul Placeholder like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, Introduction stroke, cognitive decline, dementia and depression. rTMS may exert its therapeutic effects by influencing the Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) biochemistry of neurotransmitters. In this exploratory is a non-invasive brain stimulation method delivering study, safety symptom improvement and changes in focused magnetic field pulses to the brain. If delivered the availability of neurotransmitter precursor amino repetitively this type of brain stimulation can influence acids were studied following prefrontal cortex (PFC) brain function. The magnetic field generated during rTMS Pharmacological and Mental Self-transformation in Ethic stimulation using repetitive transcranial stimulation with electromagnetic induction can either excite or inhibit a Comparison TheraCell apparatus R (Guth Meditec, Salach, Germany) small brain area and modulate cortical function [1]. Pharmakologische mentale Selbstveränderung as an additional und treatment in ten patients with late im Earlier reports have already described rTMS as an life depression. Treatment was well tolerated with no effective treatment for depressive illness [2]. Unlike ethischen Vergleich serious adverse effects being observed. rTMS induced a electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), rTMS is associated with significant improvement in the symptoms of depression minimal side-effects and does not cause seizures [3]. rTMS https://doi.org/10.1515/xyz-2017-0010 received February 9, 2013; accepted March 25, 2013; published online July 2014 and a significant decrease in the HAMD-7 (p
