We evaluated her during 6 weeks since 2012. 5. 22 until 2012. 7. 7 in Functional Neurosurgery Research Center of Shohada Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Before entering the study it was necessary for the patient to give informed consent. She had to be examined first by psychiatrist, neurologist and later by cognitive neuroscientist for neurocognitive assessments. We evaluated attention measure through STROOP and CPT tasks and mental evaluations were implemented by using MMSE, Beck depression questionnaires before and after TMS. Based on the performance assessment of the patient before and after TMS, a difference was observed between measures of tasks and questionnaires. Conclusions: Cognitive and mental impairments could be improved by TMS.
