The Relationship of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation With Sleep and Plasticity.

Neuroplasticity is an area of expanding interest in psychiatry. Plasticity and metaplasticity are processes contributing to the scaling up and down of neuronal connections, and they are involved with changes in learning, memory, mood, and sleep. Effective mood treatments, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), are reputed to work via changes in neuronal circuitry.
