TMS: Now available at ProCare
TMS uses non-invasive magnetic pulses to stimulate the prefrontal cortex of the brain to activate positive mood pathways:
-
When an electrical current passes through a TMS coil, it generates a magnetic field that passes into the brain without resistance.
-
This magnetic field acts via induction to produce electrical activity in the underlying cortical neurons.
-
If the stimulation is provided above a certain threshold, these neurons will depolarise.
-
The repeated firing of local cortical neurons induces an effect similar to long-term potentiation.
