NeuroStar: Advanced, Non-Drug Depression Treatment at
Atlanta Spravato & TMS Center

NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy harnesses the power of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to directly address the neurobiological roots of depression. Research has shown that depression often involves decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain essential for mood regulation. NeuroStar® uses targeted, MRI-strength magnetic pulses to stimulate neurons in this area, specifically the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

This stimulation is designed to boost neuronal activity and improve communication between brain regions involved in mood and emotion regulation. With consistent sessions, the brain can learn to maintain this heightened activity independently. Clinical studies, including work by Dunner DL and colleagues, suggest that NeuroStar® can lead to long-lasting symptom relief.
