Episode notes
Hour-Spacing Amplifies TMS Learning
- Spacing TMS sessions about an hour leverages long-term potentiation to strengthen neural changes.
- Nolan Williams and team engineered session timing to mirror how the brain consolidates learning.
TMS Works By Boosting Neuroplasticity
- Long-term potentiation underlies TMS effects by remodeling dendrites and strengthening connections.
- This plasticity explains why TMS patients often report clearer thinking and improved function.
Use Biometric Triggers For Boosters
- Use biometric monitoring to trigger as-needed SNT-TMS boosters when early relapse signs appear.
- Stanford's small year-long study kept 100% of 21 patients well with monthly one-day boosters on average.
