NSGR - Use of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the treatment of Pediatric Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Led By
Lindsay M. Oberman, PhD

At the end of this presentation, participants should be able to:

  • Describe how TMS can be used to induce long-term changes in brain network functioning and potentially treat Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Identify a number of potential network targets where applying TMS may be effective for reducing specific targeted symptom domains.
  • Review the literature indicating that brain development and brain state may affect the direction and degree of modulation of rTMS.

Dr. Lindsay Oberman received her PhD from UCSD in Experimental Psychology in 2007. Since that time, she has published over 80 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.
