摘要：
A system and methods for transcranial magnetic stimulation, the systemincluding a helmet, a positioning portion, a stimulator and a cooling system,are disclosed. The helmet includes a coil for deep brain magnetic stimulation.The coil has a base portion, and return portions, which may include aprotruding return portion and a contacting return portion. The coil isdesigned to minimize unintended stimulation of portions of the brain, whilereducing accumulation of surface charges. The coil is stimulated at severallocations and/or at different times so as to focus the electrical field on aspecific deep neuronal structure. In some embodiments, a multi-channel systemis used, and in other embodiments, a control unit is used with a single-channel system. The present invention provides methods for stimulatingindividual coil members and/or multiple coils non-simultaneously to enablefocal stimulation of deep brain regions while minimizing stimulation ofcortical regions of the brain.
