Theta burst stimulation (TBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), uses repeated high‐frequency bursts to non‐invasively modulate neural processes in the brain. An intermittent TBS (iTBS) protocol is generally considered “excitatory,” while continuous TBS (cTBS) is considered “inhibitory.” However, the majority of work that has led to these effects being associated with the respective protocols has been done in the motor cortex, and it is well established that TMS can have variable effects across the brain.
