Our President Annual Meeting Committee led by Todd Hutton has put together an all-star line Richard Bermudes, MD up of speakers to invigorate you and fuel your passion for transcranial magnetic Secretary stimulation (TMS). Our conference will provide 14 hours of CME featuring talks Rick Trautner, MD on the expanding evidence base for TMS for the treatment of a number of Treasurer neuropsychiatric conditions. I want to welcome our two keynote speakers Theodore S. Wirecki, MD Professor Anthony Barker, FIET, FIPEM and Sarah H. Lisanby, MD. Professor Officer at Large Barker led the group which invented the technique of TMS and has specialized Michelle Cochran, MD in a number of research areas during his NHS career, including the effects of Officer at Large electromagnetic fields on the body, electrical stimulation of nerves, Functional Mahmoud S. Okasha, MD Electrical Stimulation and medical device development. Dr. Lisanby, who now Director directs the NIMH division of translational research, is one of the leading Ian Cook, MD researchers in the area of neuromodulatory interventions for treating major Director depression, serving as a principal investigator on studies that range from basic Kim Cress, MD research through clinical trials. Director David Dunner, MD This year’s meeting of the Society includes TMS providers with extensive Director David Feifel, MD, PhD clinical and research experience from across the United States and the world. My hope is that as you attend this meeting you will not only reconnect with old Director William Gilmer, MD friends and colleagues in the field, but you will find new ways of optimizing the Director administration of TMS and learn about novel uses for this therapy. Geoffrey Grammer, MD Director A number of individuals have dedicated countless hours to the planning of this Eric Hollander, MD year’s meeting. A special thank you goes to the Annual Meeting Committee Director which included Todd Hutton, Michelle Cochran, Jay Gunkelman, Paul Croarkin, Todd Hutton, MD and Richard Pitch. The Society thanks Paige Hutton who volunteered Director numerous hours and worked with Todd to coordinate the meetings, contract Philip Janicak, MD with the hotel, and organize our vendor support and CME. Finally, a special Director thanks goes to Professional Exchange Service Corporation (PESC) staff, Kevin Kinback, MD Ashleigh Servadio, Marcel Bourdase and Matt Haas. The quality of this year’s Director conference reflects the team work of this group of individuals. Stefano Pallanti, MD, PhD Director Last but not least I want to thank our meeting sponsors. Platinum sponsor- Alvaro Pascual-Leone, MD Neurostar, Gold sponsor-Brainsway, and Bronze sponsor-Magstim who Director provided levels of support that have made it possible to keep our meeting costs Tarique Perera, MD down for our members and in addition they have added to our program Director Murali Rao, MD offerings with industry sponsored symposium and trainings. Director Saad Shakir, MD I warmly welcome you to our annual educational conference and encourage you to get involved with your Society! Director Leslie Smith, MD Director Ted Williams, MD Richard Bermudes, MD President, Clinical TMS Society Page 3 2016 Annual Meeting Atlanta, Georgia May 12-14, 2016 Annual Meeting Committee Welcome It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Clinical TMS Society. For me, the TMS Society meeting has been the highlight of the year for its fascinating content as well as a place to connect with colleagues. The annual meeting committee has been working hard for many months to build on this tradition and add to it in a way that reflects the exciting growth in the field of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. Our focus this year has been to make the annual meeting even more valuable to our Society members. First priority was to obtain CME credit for the meeting, which was successfully accomplished through a partnership with the Mayo Clinic. We brought even more content this year, expanding into two very full days of programing. We sought to address head on issues of relevance to members such as a comparison of the US FDA cleared devices, current clinical standards, as well as a look to the future of TMS. Sessions have evolved to include a variety of formats, including panel discussions meant to engage attendees, “breakout sessions” to focus on specific areas of interest, and scientific presentations from leaders in the field. This year brings the first time we have offered content specifically targeted to TMS technicians (and new physicians), as there is no other venue for ongoing technician education. We are pleased to see that members have responded to this as almost one quarter of our attendees are technicians. The faculty this year is excellent and comes from five continents. A very special highlight this year is our opening session with Professor Anthony Barker, FIET, FIPEM who was the first of the modern era to stimulate the brain with high powered electromagnets. Our Friday dinner address will be delivered by preeminent neuromodulation researcher Sarah Hollingsworth Lisanby MD, formerly chair of psychiatry at Duke and now at the National Institutes of Health. Many thanks go out to our sponsors from industry without whom the cost of this meeting to our members would have been much greater. Their unrestricted support has allowed us to bring to you a superior meeting experience, and we are truly appreciative. Planning this meeting spanned the transition from our beloved Nina Cudney, MS to PESC (Professional Exchange Service Corporation), our new professional managers, who have jumped right in to make the changeover go smoothly. I also want to thank my fellow committee members who have each brought special talents and many hours of effort to putting this meeting together, especially Michelle Cochran and Rick Pitch for their guidance from previous year’s meetings, Paul Croarkin for handling the poster session and CME, Jay Gunkelman for handling sponsors, exhibitors, and meeting logistics, our President, Richard Bermudes, MD for board leadership, and lastly my wife, Paige, who put in countless hours to make it all happen. We hope this meeting serves to advance and improve our individual skills and knowledge, as well as advance the field of TMS into the future.

  • Long-Term Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Markers for Neuroplasticity: Differential Outcomes in Anesthetized and Awake Animals
    The Journal of Neuroscience, May 18, 2011 • 31(20):7521–7526 • 7521 Brief Communications Long-Term Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Markers for Neuroplasticity: Differential Outcomes in Anesthetized and Awake Animals Roman Gersner,1 Elena Kravetz,1 Jodie Feil,1,2 Gaby Pell,1 and Abraham Zangen1 1Department of Neurobiology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, Israel, and 2Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre, School of Psychology and Psychiatry, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria 3004, Australia Long-term effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been associated with neuroplasticity, but most physiolog- ical studies have evaluated only the immediate effects of the stimulation on neurochemical markers. Furthermore, although it is known that baseline excitability state plays a major role in rTMS outcomes, the role of spontaneous neural activity in metaplasticity has not been investigated. The first aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the long-term effects of high- and low-frequency rTMS on the markers of neuroplasticity such as BDNF and GluR1 subunit of AMPA receptor. The second aim was to assess whether these effects depend on spontaneous neural activity, by comparing the neurochemical alterations induced by rTMS in anesthetized and awake rats. Ten daily sessions of high- or low-frequency rTMS were applied over the rat brain, and 3 d later, levels of BDNF, GluR1, and phosphory- lated GluR1 were assessed in the hippocampus, prelimbic cortex, and striatum. We found that high-frequency stimulation induced a profound effect on neuroplasticity markers; increasing them in awake animals while decreasing them in anesthetized animals. In con- trast, low-frequency stimulation did not induce significant long-term effects on these markers in either state.

  • Deep Magnet Stimulation Shown to Improve Symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
    Press release: European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) congress, Copenhagen Deep magnet stimulation shown to improve symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder Embargo Until: 00.05 (CEST, Copenhagen) Sunday 8th September 2019 Type of study: Peer reviewed/randomised controlled trial (RCT)/in people • All in trial had previously failed SSRI treatment • 38% of those patients responded to this treatment • OCD patients deliberately provoked before treatment to ensure maximum response Researchers have found that focusing powerful non-invasive magnet stimulation on a specific brain area can improve the symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This opens the way to treat the large minority of sufferers who do not respond to conventional treatment. The work is presented at the ECNP Conference in Copenhagen*. OCD is broadly defined as recurrent thoughts or urges, or excessive repetitive behaviours which an individual feels driven to perform. Around 12 adults in every thousand suffer from OCD in any given year, although 2.3% of adults will suffer at some point in their life. It is generally treated through exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy (which exposes the patient to the content of his obsessions\urges without performing the compulsions) and medication, such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors e.g. fluoxetine (Prozac/Sarafem) or Sertraline (Paxil) or Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors e.g. clomipramine (Anafranil), however between a third and a half of patients don’t respond well to treatment Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) is a type of brain stimulation technique where pulsed magnetic fields are generated by a coil placed on the scalp. This field activates the neuronal circuits at the target brain area, resulting in symptom improvement.

There follows a compilation of highlights from selected peer- reviewed publications relating to Deep TMS. For further details please refer to the full articles. The Deep TMS H1-Coil Section 1 The Deep TMS and H-Coil Technology The Deep TMS H-Coils are a novel development in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) designed to achieve effective stimulation of deep neuronal regions. Standard TMS is generally applied with a figure-8 coil, which targets superficial brain regions and is sensitive to the coil orientation. Other TMS coils with claims of depth penetration achieve it at the cost of stronger activation of superficial regions, which may be intolerable. The H-Coils are a novel alternative to these coils, representing the state of the art in TMS coil technology. Their unique structure offers a good compromise between depth and focality, allowing deeper electric field penetration at safe and tolerable stimulation levels. 1 A Coil Design for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation 1.1 of Deep Brain Regions Roth Y, Zangen A, Hallett M.
