Abstract: The repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive medical therapy which is a brain stimulation technique with the production of short magnetic fields by using a coil placed over the scalp. These magnetic fields are of the same type as of those used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging. Magnetic pulses produce a weak electrical current in the brain that activates neuronal circuits which could have been underactive or overactive in different areas of the brain by either providing stimulation or inhibition based on the different frequencies and protocols being used in each time.
