This book describes several aspects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in neuropsy‐ chiatry. The first chapter opens the book with some basic information. The second chapter is focused on the research of inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms of the human brain and the use of TMS in the research and treatment of cognitive disorders. The third chapter explores the possibilities of research and therapeutic application of TMS aimed at the cerebellum. The fourth chapter discusses the effect of TMS on impulsivity in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and borderline personality disorder. The fifth chapter describes the use of repeti‐ tive TMS (rTMS) in the treatment of tinnitus, and the sixth chapter looks at the current knowledge of its efficacy in the treatment of obsessive–compulsive disorder. The seventh chapter is focused on the role of non-invasive brain stimulation methods (including rTMS) in the treatment of pain, and the eighth chapter discusses the treatment of chronic headache.
