Two aspects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) gain increasing importance in the field of psychiatry. The repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a promising method for treating neuropsychiatric diseases like depression as well as the diagnostic variant of TMS. Methodological improvement of this diagostic variant offer the possibility to measure aspects of cortical excitability painlessly and non-invasively. Using this neurophysiological tool, new insights into the effects of central-acting drugs are possible. Particularly striking seems to be the potential of this approach for use in biological phenotyping. TMS seems to detect neurophysiological endophenotypes that may be the result of genetic variations.
