No injury after prolonged TMS

  • Counter, 1995:

– No deleterious effect on AEP after 1000 pulses at 1Hz n rabbits

  • Nishikiori, 1996:

– No cortical or brainstem lesions after ~1 month of daily TMS in rabbits

  • Liebetanz et al., 2003:

– No MRS or histologic changes after 5 days of 1 Hz rTMS

  • Charlet de Sauvage et al., 2007

– No DNA damage after 2000 TMS pulses

Most translational research is with rodents

  • Well-described disease models
  • Inexpensive
  • Experiments may be translated to clinical care
  • TMS effect can be examined at multiple levels:

whole animal, brain slice, single cell, etc.

TMS in Experimental Epilepsy

  • Diagnostic

– Measure of cortical excitability – Assessment of drug (or other intervention) effect

  • Therapeutic

– Anticonvulsant (seizure termination) – Antiepileptic (seizure prevention)
