Project description

This proposal aims to investigate the neurobiological underpinnings of NIBS treatment modalities for psychiatric diseases. Despite its acceptance as therapy for major depression, the neurobiological basis and effective stimulation parameters are barely known. The main objective is to gain better insight into the immediate and delayed neurobiological effects and safety of 2 HF-rTMS paradigms with the dog as model.
