[...] Effects of TMS on brain functions: 1.Single burst TMS instead of repetitive TMS applied to the visual cortex interferes with visual imaging (repeated stimulation=rTMS has a longer lasting effect than a sinle burst) 2. Stimulation of the right spot in the motor cortex causes the thumb to twitch (intensity calibration of the TMS stimulus, this is used before repetitive stimulation to other parts of the scalp (rTMS)) 3. Low frequency stimulation (1-5 pulses per second) depress brain activity, higher frequency stimulation (25 or more pulses per second) increases excitability. 4. Stimulation of the left prefrontal cortex with rTMS relieves depression in some patients who haven’t responded to other antidepressant treatments 5. Low frequency rTMS to the temporoparietal cortex (above the ear) reduces auditory hallucinations in Schizophrenia 6. rTMS treatment on speech areas of the brain can make people name picture at a faster rate 7. rTMS applied to motor regions of the brain facilitates lightening fast movements 8. rTMS applied to the prefrontal cortex compared to sham rTMS enhances solving of analogy puzzles, rTMS might facilitate thinking. (Try rTMS before an exam). rTMS may raise baseline level of neural activity just enough so that neurons don’t have to work hard to retrieve memory or problem solving strategies. read more [...]

Comment on Two Approaches to Patient Safety by C.A Potters

C.A Potters — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:16:06 +0000

2} with responsability coming back the urge to detect flaws and prevent errors makes healthcare not only a lot safer but also knowledgeable.
