To get there, researchers want to fully understand the biological mechanisms behind these techniques, along with finding more rigorous ways to test them in the lab, all with a view toward making treatments more tailored and reliably successful. With its demonstrated benefits and lack of serious side effects, Colleen Loo, a neurostimulation pioneer at the University of New South Wales, says, \u201cthere\u2019s no reason TMS can\u2019t be used as a frontline treatment\u201d for major depression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get alerts for new articles, or get an alert when an article is cited.
