The Istituto di Neuroscienze is pleased to announce the participation of Dr. Stefano Pallanti in the webinar "Neuromodulation in Psychiatry: Current Perspectives" organized by the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) on April 28, 2022.
The webinar provided a significant opportunity to give participants an in-depth overview of the clinical framework of Neuromodulation Techniques. This event was attended by renowned experts in their fields at the international level, whose contributions offered valuable insights into the topic from a Research Domain Criteria (RDoC)-based perspective.
Through participation in the event, attendees had the opportunity to:
Gain in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the main neuromodulation techniques.
Learn the theoretical concepts necessary for recommending neuromodulation therapies.
Understand the different areas of application of various neuromodulation techniques, with a particular focus on Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders, Mood Disorders, Substance Use Disorders, and Behavioral Addictions.
Gain a deep understanding of the RDoC approach.
Dr. Stefano Pallanti's Intervention
Dr. Stefano Pallanti joined the Webinar as a panelist to address the topic "Neuromodulation in Psychiatry: Current Perspectives."
In his presentation, Dr. Pallanti provided an updated overview of the applications of Neuromodulation Therapies in psychiatric therapeutic practice, bringing attention to the most innovative and effective technologies currently available for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Among these, Dr. Pallanti illustrated the mechanisms of action and therapeutic areas of the following neuromodulation techniques:
During his talk, Dr. Pallanti brought his valuable experience in the field to emphasize the ability of these techniques to achieve significant effects even in cases of disorders resistant to traditional treatments, highlighting the high therapeutic potential of these innovative techniques offered by the Istituto di Neuroscienze, of which he is the Founder and Director.
Dr. Stefano Pallanti is considered a world expert on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and other Neuromodulation Therapies: he is a founding member and a member of the Board of Directors of the Clinical TMS Society; furthermore, he holds a Chair of the European Network for Neuromodulation at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP).

Discover our Neuromodulation Therapies
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
The different types of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) represent non-invasive and non-pharmacological therapies that use magnetic field to stimulate or inhibit specific brain areas, proving to be highly effective for the treatment of many disorders, including Resistant Depression and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS is a completely painless neuromodulation therapy that is particularly suitable for children because of the high degree of freedom of movement it allows, used in numerous treatment and rehabilitation settings.
Photo-Bio-Modulation (PBM)
The latest technology for treating the Central Nervous System and particularly suitable for children, which uses increased cerebral blood flow to stimulate brain metabolism and promote neuroplasticity processes.

Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) activates the nerve that connects several neurophysiological pathways that regulate neuroinflammation processes, enabling the improvement of essential body functions.
Neurofeedback
At the Istituto di Neuroscienze, we use Neurofeedback to treat ADHD, Learning Disorders, Anxiety, Phobias, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but it is also used in sports or by agencies such as NASA to improve alertness and promote high-level performance.
Light Therapy
Light Therapy uses exposure to bright light that can restore the balance between melatonin and serotonin through optic nerve stimulation, regularizing circadian sleep-wake rhythms, improving mood, appetite, and sleep quality.
