In this study, we investigated the effects of chronic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on GABA level in chronic unpredictable mild stress model using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus tissues were harvested from rats brain and the spectra obtained from CPMG sequence were analyzed by LCModel. There were significant differences in GABA concentrations in chronic rTMS-treated rats compared to controls. Our finding indicates that chronic rTMS has a modulatory effect on GABAergic systems, suggesting its beneficial effects.
