Brain Imaging01:14

Brain Imaging

258
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Electroconvulsive Therapy

69
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

78
Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique for diagnosing and treating psychiatric and neurological disorders.
  • Repetitive TMS (rTMS) modulates neuronal activity, neuroplasticity, and arousal, impacting mental health.
  • Predictors of rTMS efficacy include stimulation site, EEG patterns, and patient-specific responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the predictors of rTMS efficacy in psychiatric disorders.
  • To investigate the potential of rTMS in inducing slow-wave oscillations for insomnia.
  • To highlight neurophysiological measures as biomarkers for treatment prediction and monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies on rTMS efficacy predictors.
  • Analysis of rTMS applications in depression, catatonia, tinnitus, and insomnia.
  • Exploration of neurophysiological biomarkers for personalized treatment.

Main Results:

  • rTMS is commonly used for depression, catatonia, and tinnitus.
  • rTMS shows potential in inducing slow-wave oscillations for insomnia.
  • Neurophysiological biomarkers can aid in predicting and monitoring rTMS treatment response.

Conclusions:

  • The convergence of neurophysiological biomarkers and tailored rTMS offers a new era in psychiatric care.
  • Personalized rTMS approaches, including slow-wave activity induction, can enhance treatment outcomes.
  • Further research is needed to validate imaging and electrophysiological biomarkers for rTMS.
