This article explores the methodological considerations of priming repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols in clinical populations. It discusses how rTMS can enhance neuroplasticity and modify brain responsiveness in psychiatric and neurological applications. The concept of metaplasticity, which refers to the modification of synaptic plasticity by prior neuronal activity, is also explored and its impact on the response to rTMS is discussed. The article suggests that priming protocols have the potential to improve therapeutic outcomes in psychiatric and neurological rehabilitation, but further research is needed to determine optimal parameters for these protocols. The article also highlights the importance of investigating factors such as timing, intensity, and stimulation modes to optimize therapeutic brain stimulation strategies. Additionally, it mentions the need for neural biomarkers to assess metaplasticity and predict treatment responses, suggesting the use of predictive biomarkers as a possible solution. Overall, the article emphasizes the potential benefits of metaplasticity-elicited priming rTMS protocols in neurological and psychiatric applications. [Extracted from the article]
