 Project Summary  Sukhi S. Shergill, MBBS, MRC Psych. (Young Investigator 2001) of King's College London, will use a method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TCMS) in schizophrenic patients to reduce the brain activity in the right lateral temporal cortex, the brain region that is most active when auditory hallucinations occur. It is anticipated that the treatment will reduce the frequency and duration of the voices. Patients will be randomized to either real or “staged” RCMS to ensure that a real treatment effect is being observed. In addition, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) will be used to examine changes in blood flow in the areas of the brain treated with TCMS to examine the specific changes in brain activation that occur with the treatment.
