During repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), an electric current is used to create a repetitively pulsed magnetic field. When applied over the scalp, this induces an electric current within a discrete area of the brain with resultant changes in neuronal polarization. The end result is altered neuronal activity in the area where the rTMS is applied
