...is that the study shows the superiority of interrupted TMS (as opposed to continuous TMS). The interruptions somehow create a more general reduction in cell inhibitor activity. What is unclear from the article is whether these researchers tested only the inactivation of brain regions, or whether this iTMS "gating" technique is also plausible for the activation of brain areas.
It seems to me that the latter would be more useful in the treatment of depression, since depression is caused by low concentrations of reward hormones.
