The Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Procedural Memory and Dysphoric Mood in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder

Abstract

Findings suggest that rTMS over a 2-week period improves performance on tasks of response speed and procedural memory in patients with MDD. These cognitive effects are greater in those patients who showed a significant antidepressant effect to rTMS intervention.
