Does TMS treatment cause memory loss?
“Does TMS cause memory loss? No, TMS treatment has been systematically evaluated for its effects on cognitive functions. As a result, clinical trials have demonstrated that TMS treatment does not have any negative outcome on memory.”
In fact, some patients see improvements in memory and concentration during their TMS treatment. This is due to the targeting of specific areas of the brain that impact cognitive functions, the left prefrontal cortex. The left prefrontal cortex’s associated with executive and cognitive functions which include positive mood, memory, and concentration. TMS treatment creates an excitatory activation in this region of the brain and as a result, this makes the frontal lobe of the brain function more efficiently.
The activation of the brain cells caused by the TMS treatment does not only improve mood and anxiety. It helps with cognitive and executive functions as well as enabling the brain to function in a balanced manner, ‘level-headed’.
