What this study is
The purpose of this study is to examine whether cerebellar stimulation can be used to improve cognitive deficits and mood in patients with schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, Parkinson's disease, and major depression.
What's being tested
- Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Intervention · DEVICE
Subjects with neuropsychiatric diagnoses and matched-controls will be receive theta frequency stimulation of the cerebellum. We will target the cerebellar vermis.
- Sham Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Intervention · DEVICE
Subjects with neuropsychiatric diagnoses and matched-controls will be receive sham stimulation of the cerebellum. We will target the cerebellar vermis.
