The last 20 years of human and animal research have taught us that addiction is a brain disease. The behaviors that govern the relapse process are modifiable through modulation of the medial prefrontal cortex. This has been clearly demonstrated in animals, and now – through the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) it may be possible in our patients as well. In this talk we will review what is known, what is yet unknown, and where the field of non-invasive brain stimulation therapeutics for substance use disorders is going.

After attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

1) List at least 2 strategies which are being explored as targets for TMS addiction treatment; and,

2) List the indications for which TMS is currently approved – including smoking cessation.
