rTMS Brain Stimulation and Cognition

NCT04244682 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will use repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) (a way to use a powerful magnet to cause temporary impairment to the function of a brain region) to test whether certain parts of the brain are necessary to various aspects of memory and emotion. Participation will require up to three visits. One visit will take up to an hour, and the other visits will each take up to three hours each. During the first visit, participants will be consented, and their brains will be scanned using magnetic resonance imaging.

Conditions

  • Episodic Memory Retrieval

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

In the rTMS procedure a small plastic coil will be placed next to the participant's head. The position of the coil will be guided by neuro-navigational software utilizing the individual's MRI scan. The coil will be placed over the relevant brain region using the Brainsight TMS-MRI co-registration system for visualizing the coil position with respect to the participant's individual MRI scan. The coil will then generate a series of repetitive magnetic pulses, and stimulation will occur, disrupting typical function of the targeted brain region.
