Enabling researchers to gain an even deeper understanding of the human brain is just as important now as it was when MagVenture introduced our first TMS device back in 1992. MagVenture has, since the very beginning, engaged in long-term, close collaborations with numerous high-ranking neuroscience research institutions and facilities worldwide, allowing scientists to continuously challenge and push the limits of TMS.
MagVenture offers advanced neuromodulation systems for TMS research. From a turn-key solution for interleaved TMS-fMRI to Magnetic Seizure Therapy, or even TMS on rodents, MagVenture is capable of solving demanding needs from researchers around the world. 

TMS/fMRI

Do you need a solution that allows researchers to investigate the causal relationship between brain activity and behavior by merging functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)? TMS can cause temporary disruptions or improvements in brain activity, while fMRI can identify alterations in blood flow and help to uncover the neural mechanisms associated with specific behaviors and cognitive processes.

TMS Clinical Research

Do you require a solution that encompasses clinical research aimed at examining the effectiveness and safety of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a therapeutic option for different neurological and psychiatric conditions?

Want to do research on larger animals?

  • MagVenture offers a range of slightly larger coils which are also suitable for translational research – for example the B35 or MCF-75.
  • The Cool-40 Rat Coil was originally developed with researchers at Antwerp University who were seeking to unravel the mechanism of action for TMS as well as test new paradigms.

If you need to use multiple coils

Multi-site stimulation

The small geometry of the B35 coil enables you to place multiple coils simultaneously on the head providing a focal, yet powerful stimulation. The B35 coil comes in different versions to suit your specific needs.

  • MC-B35
  • Cool-B35
  • Cool B35-HO (with handle turning upwards for easy coil placement)
  • Cool-B35 RO (Robotic edition to be used with the Axilum robot)

Another option is the D-shaped Cool-D50 coil with the stimulation center being placed at the edge of the coil. This allows for alternating stimulation of two centers in the brain only 2-3 cm apart. Smaller circular coils like the MMC-90 coil or MCF-75 coil are also available for less selective stimulation, but still allow for multiple coils to be placed close to one another.

If you need a Classic combination between TMS and EMG

MEP – Motor evoked potentials

TMS is commonly used to measure Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs), which are electrical signals generated by the muscles in response to a TMS pulse.

Some of the main uses of TMS for MEPs include:

  • Assessing the integrity of the corticospinal tract, which is the pathway that connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls voluntary movement
  • Evaluating the function of specific brain regions involved in motor control and coordination
  • Studying the effects of various drugs and therapies on motor function
  • Diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Planning and monitoring rehabilitation programs for individuals with motor impairments

TMS for MEPs is a valuable tool for both research and clinical applications, allowing for non-invasive assessment of motor function and identification of underlying neurological issues.
