TMS Therapy is the first treatment for depression to treat the specific parts of the brain which regulate mood.
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation developed at the same time as functional brain imaging.
- Together they allowed neuroscientists to isolate different areas of the brain and to learn how these areas function together to regulate the brain and body.
- We now know that mood is regulated by the connections between the outer layers of the brain, known as the prefrontal cortex, and the interior areas of the brain, known as the limbic region.
