SUMMARY:Single-Day Regimens for TMS: Recent Progress and Open Questions *Free Session*
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the year with complimentary Grand Rounds!\n> >Register Now <<\nSpeaker: Jonathan Downar\, MD\, PhD\, FRCPC\nImproving access to TMS is a priority for practitioners and patients alike. Multi-day treatment protocols pose a significant logistical barrier to access for many patients\, especially those in remote areas. \nRecently\, proof-of-concept studies have begun to investigate the effectiveness of single-day TMS regimens. Here we review the development of single-day TMS protocols\, along with relevant studies on potential mechanisms. We consider new data on the outcomes of single-day TMS in various applications. We examine possible refinements of the approach to improve practicality\, tolerability\, and effectiveness. We consider important outstanding questions requiring future research on this novel but potentially quite impactful approach to TMS treatment. \nKey learning objectives include:\n\nReview rationale\, mechanisms\, and history of development of single-day TMS protocols.\nReview recent progress in refining single-day TMS protocols and comparative outcomes vs. conventional once-daily protocols.\nReview outstanding questions facing future developments and refinement of single-day TMS protocols.\n\nTake advantage of our live Q&A session at the conclusion of the webinar. \n*Registered attendees will receive access to the on-demand video recording by Friday\, January 9\, 2026. You will receive an email notification with instructions on accessing the video. You may register for the on-demand webinar any time after the live webinar. \nWhen: \nUSA - January 6\, 2026 at 8:00pm ET | 5:00pm PT\nUK- January 7\, 2026 at 1:00am GMT\nAustralia- January 7\, 2026 at 12:00pm AEDT \nCost: \nMember: FREE\nTrainee Member: FREE\nNon-Member: FREE \n*CME not available for this session. \n> >Register Now <<\nAbout the Speaker \n \nJonathan Downar\, MD\, PhD\, FRCPC \nDr Jonathan Downar is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto. He holds a clinical appointment at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.

SUMMARY:TMS for Stroke Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:> >Register Now <<\nJoin the Clinical TMS Society for this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series: TMS for Stroke Rehabilitation\nSpeaker: Dylan J. Edwards\, PhD\nThe first demonstration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) occurred nearly 40 years ago\, and it showed that TMS could readily activate the human cortex without sophisticated targeting. However\, as a tool to probe and modify cortical function\, TMS has historically been limited by imprecise targeting. With new advances\, including neuronavigation and contemporary modeling of cortical electric field distribution\, we are now able to use TMS to examine the detailed functional organization of the primary motor cortex\, as well as how the cortex is reorganized after the brain is lesioned. In research to date\, patient responses to TMS have been variable\, and inaccurate targeting may be a key factor contributing to the high variability in response rate to repetitive TMS (rTMS) interventions. The precision of TMS targeting will be discussed in the context of neurorehabilitation and motor recovery. \nKey learning objectives include:\n\nDescribe the rationale for using TMS in recovery of motor function after damage to the cortico-spinal tract such as in stroke or spinal cord injury.\nDescribe the benefit of electric field modeling in estimating optimal treatment intensity.\nState the principal result of at least one rTMS/neurorecovery RCT over the past decade.\n\nTake advantage of our live Q&A session at the conclusion of the webinar. \nOne CME credit is available.  CE Language \n*Registered attendees will receive access to the on-demand video recording by Friday\, September 8\, 2025. You will receive an email notification with instructions on accessing the video. You may register for the on-demand webinar any time after the live webinar. \nWhen: \nUSA - September 2\, 2025 at 8:00pm ET | 5:00pm PT\nUK- September 3\, 2025 at 1:00am BST\nAustralia- September 3\, 2025 at 10:00am AEST \nCost: \nMember: $25\nTrainee Member: FREE\nNon-Member: $50 \n> >Register Now <<\nAbout the Speaker \n \nDylan J. Edwards\, PhD\nDr. Dylan J. Edwards is the Nancy Wachtel Shrier Director of Jefferson Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute\, Director of the Human Motor Recovery Laboratory at the Institute\, Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at The Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University\, and Adjunct Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the NeuroRehabilitation and Robotics Laboratory at Edith Cowan University.

SUMMARY:The Unique Case of Bipolar Depression and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
DESCRIPTION:> > Register Now <<\nThere are few level 1 evidence based treatments for bipolar depression\, and when these are either ineffective or poorly tolerated alternative non-pharmacological treatments are required. Non-invasive neurostimulation\, in particular transcranial magnetic stimulation\, is a treatment option for difficult to treat depression that is of interest in bipolar depression. In 2020\, the FDA granted breakthrough designation for TMS for bipolar depression\, however if it does receive approval it remains to be determined where TMS belongs in the bipolar depression algorithm. Here\, we will review the management of bipolar depression\, and review the peer reviewed literature using TMS to treat bipolar depression. In particular\, the conflicting data will be contextualized within the unique biological and pharmacological constraints that characterize bipolar disorder. \nAt the end of this presentation participants will: \n\nUnderstand the current management of bipolar depression.\nReview the clinical trial and open label literature using TMS to treat bipolar depression.\nAppreciate the complex interplay between biology and pharmacology that makes TMS in bipolar disorder unique.\n\n1 CME Credit Available \nFormat: Webinar \nCost: Members: $25 | Non-members $50 | Student Members FREE \n\nSpeaker: Alexander McGirr\, MD\, PhD\, FRCPC \nAlexander McGirr received his MSc in neuroscience at McGill University under Dr. Gustavo Turecki before pursuing medical school at the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Research and Clinical Applications of TMS in Pediatric and Neurodevelopmental Populations
DESCRIPTION:> > Register Now <<\nThe CDC currently estimates that nearly 1 in 5 children have a developmental or psychiatric disorder; yet evidence-based\, targeted treatments for these disorders are lacking. \nTaking an Experimental Therapeutics approach\, the research that will be discussed aims to understand the mechanisms that contribute to dysfunctional development of neural systems associated with symptoms of pediatric psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders utilizing neuroimaging and neurophysiological tools combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation interventions. The ultimate goal of the research that will be discussed is to inform the development of novel targeted device-based treatment strategies. Though there is much promise for these targeted device-based interventions\, data on the safety and efficacy of these interventions in pediatric and neurodevelopmental populations is limited. The current state of the research will be reviewed and future directions for the field will be discussed. \nAt the end of this presentation participants will be able to: \n\nReview the findings of studies using TMS to probe physiology in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).\nDescribe how TMS can be used to induce long-term changes in brain network functioning and potentially treat pediatric neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders.\nIdentify potential network targets where applying TMS may be effective for reducing transdiagnostic symptom domains commonly seen in neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders.\n\n1 Hour CME Credit Available \nFormat: Live Webinar \nCost: Members: $25 | Non-members $50 | Student Members FREE \n\nSpeaker: Lindsay Oberman\, PhD \n \nDr. Lindsay Oberman received her PhD from UCSD in Experimental Psychology in 2007. Since that time\, she has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles. She has gained international attention for pioneering the use of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in complex neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders including autism\, mood disorders\, and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Oberman’s research involves the use of an experimental therapeutics approach applying neuroimaging and neurophysiological measures to identify dysfunctional neural circuitry associated with specific transdiagnostic behavioral domains such as mood regulation\, sensory processing\, social cognition\, and executive functioning across disorders. In doing so\, she is able to develop novel individualized rTMS treatment protocols that are informed by functional brain network organization. She is currently a Staff Scientist and Directs the Developmental Clinical Neurophysiology and Neurostimulation Research Program within the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program. \n> > Register Now <<

SUMMARY:Controlling Brain State Variability to Optimize rTMS Efficacy
DESCRIPTION:> > Register Now <<\nThe Clinical TMS Society presents this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series: Controlling Brain State Variability to Optimize rTMS Efficacy featuring Speaker: Lysianne Beynel\, PhD \nIn this presentation\, we will explore the pivotal role of brain state variability in influencing basic TMS outcomes like MEP and phosphenes. We will then focus on some clinical applications that used control of state-dependency as a proof of principle. Finally\, in a demonstration of a specific case of state-dependency control\, we will uncover the potential synergy between rTMS and cognitive therapy in\nimproving depression treatment\, as a way to pave the way for more personalized and effective therapies. \nAt the end of this presentation participants will be able to:\n• Demonstrate how varying brain states affect basic TMS measures like motor\nevoked potentials (MEPs) and phosphenes.\n• Evaluate the impact of controlling brain state on improving rTMS outcomes as\na proof of principle.\n• Examine the potential benefits of combining rTMS with cognitive therapy for\ntreating depression in this context. \nTake advantage of our live Q&A session at the conclusion of the webinar! \n1 Hour CME Credit available \nFormat: On-Demand \nCost: Members: $25 | Non-members $50 | Student Members FREE \n\n \nSpeaker: Lysianne Beynel\, PhD \nDr. Beynel completed her PhD at University Grenoble Alpes in France where she\ninvestigated the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on bipolar\ndisorders. She then moved to Duke University for her post-doc work\, where she\ninvestigated the use of rTMS in improving working memory in older adults. Her\nresearch\, at that time\, was mainly focused on the effects of ‘online’ TMS\, i.e.\, applying\nstimulation while participants were performing a task\, as a potential means to further\nengage the stimulated network and produce stronger effect. She is now a Research\nFellow at the NonInvasive Neuromodulation Unit (NNU) in the Experimental\nTherapeutics and Pathophysiology Branch of the National Institute of Mental Health\,\nwhere she is combines two of these skill sets to apply TMS during cognitive therapy to\nimprove outcomes in depressive disorders.

SUMMARY:Precision Organizational and Functional Estimates for TMS Targeting
DESCRIPTION:> > Register Now <<\nYou’re invited to join the Clinical TMS Society for this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series: Precision Organizational and Functional Estimates for TMS Targeting featuring Dr. Mark Eldaief! \nNetwork models are increasingly invoked to characterize the neurobiological underpinnings of mental illnesses. Dysfunction within specific networks (e.g.\, the default\, salience and control networks) promotes the formation of specific symptoms. This suggests an opportunity to treat specific depressive symptoms by modulating specific circuits with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). In this talk\, I will review our project which uses precision MRI methods to delineate cortical networks in the individual at high resolution and to then stimulate specific networks in separate sessions with TMS. We will then survey the differential impact of network-specific stimulation with REST-BOLD and TASK-BOLD imaging as well as with validated state-based questionnaires and brief neuropsychological tests. This work will facilitate individualized neuromodulation approaches based on network topography. This will pollinate large-scale clinical trials assessing the effects of differential circuit modulation. It will also illuminate circuit-construct relationships across neuropsychiatric disorders. \nAt the end of this presentation participants will be able to: \n\ndescribe the network basis of specific psychopathological symptoms in depression.\nidentify the use of precision MRI to define cortical networks in the individual.\nlist the methods of applying TMS to specific networks in the individual to modulate specific symptom domains.\n\n1 Hour CME Credit available \nFormat: On-Demand \nCost: Members: $25 | Non-members $50 | Student Members FREE \n\nSPEAKERS: \nMark Eldaief\, MD\n \nDr. Eldaief attended medical school at Columbia University. Following this\, he did a combined residency in Neurology and Psychiatry at Columbia and a Research Fellowship in Cognitive Neurology at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He is now an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and is a staff neurologist and psychiatrist at the Massachusetts General Hospital. \n\n  \n> > Register Now <<

SUMMARY:Vagus Nerve Stimulation: What Do We Have When All Treatments Have Failed?
DESCRIPTION:> > Register Now <<\nYou’re invited to join the Clinical TMS Society for this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series: Vagus Nerve Stimulation: What Do We Have When All Treatments Have Failed?  featuring Dr. Scott Aaronson! \nDespite compelling evidence for efficacy\, vagus nerve stimulation has languished due to problems with the design of two randomized clinical trials which led to a non coverage determination (NCD) made by in Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) in 2007.  After a seminal comparative observational study was published in 2017\, CMS agreed to rescind its NCD and agreed to fund a coverage with evidence  development study for up to 1000 participants with either unipolar or bipolar depression.  The unipolar arm of the one year study will be completed in the Spring of 2024.  In preparation for the potential clinical availability of VNS\, we will review the proposed mechanism of action\, identify appropriate candidates\, review the existing outcomes data and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this unique albeit invasive treatment approach for the most severely treatment resistant depressions. \nAt the end of this presentation participants will be able to: \n\n describe the proposed mechanism of action for VNS\n identify potential candidates for the use of VNS\n list the most frequent adverse events found in the use of VNS\n\n1 Hour CME Credit available \nFormat: On-Demand \nCost: Members: $25 | Non-members $50 | Student Members FREE \n\nSPEAKERS: \nScott T. Aaronson\, MD\, DLLAPA\, FCTMSS\n \nDr. Scott Aaronson is a thought leader in the areas of biological psychiatry\, diagnosis\, and the integration of somatic and psychological therapies. He is an adjunct professor of psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine\, distinguished life fellow of the American Psychiatric Association\, and is a fellow of the American College of Psychiatrists. Dr. Aaronson also serves/served on the boards of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology and the Clinical TMS Society. \nIn addition to his work at The Retreat\, Dr. Aaronson is the director of clinical research programs at Sheppard Pratt\, where he is the principal investigator for multiple studies on the development of therapies for mood and anxiety disorders. He has particularly been involved with the development of new strategies to alleviate the symptoms in treatment resistant mood disorders\, and has published numerous articles on his research including pivotal studies in the use of devices—Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)—in the treatment of severe refractory mood disorders. Most recently\, he was named the Chief Science Officer of the Sheppard Pratt Institute for Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics\, focused on the development of uses for psychedelic medications across the spectrum of psychiatric illness. \n  \n> > Register Now <<
