His groundbreaking 2013 <em>Nature<\/em> publication provided the first scientific rationale for using non-invasive brain stimulation\u2014specifically repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)\u2014to treat cocaine use disorder. This work reframed addiction as a disorder of maladaptive learning and synaptic plasticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequent clinical studies led by Dr Bonci and collaborators demonstrated the therapeutic potential of TMS in treating various addictions. As a result, MagVenture received CE approval in 2021 for addiction treatment, marking the first regulatory certification of a neuromodulation therapy for psychoactive substance use disorders caused by stimulant drugs\u2014substances that enhance brain activity\u2014such as cocaine, amphetamines, or methamphetamine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Bonci is President and Founder of GIA Healthcare and Scientific Director of Brain&amp;Care. He previously served as Scientific Director at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), NIH, and held the Howard J. Weinberg Endowed Chair in Addiction Research at UCSF.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29612,"template":"","clinical_area":[68,67,66,36,65],"session_type":[],"class_list":["post-28208","live_sessions","type-live_sessions","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","clinical_area-addiction-treatment","clinical_area-major-depressive-disorder","clinical_area-obsessive-compulsive-disorder","clinical_area-ocd","clinical_area-rtms"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>TMS and Addiction with Dr. Antonello Bonci &#062; MagVenture Educate<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/magventureeducate.com\/?live_sessions=tms-and-addiction-with-dr-antonello-bonci\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"TMS and Addiction with Dr. Antonello Bonci &#062; MagVenture Educate\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In this webinar, neurologist and neuropsychopharmacologist Dr Antonello Bonci, shares insights into the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in the treatment of addiction. &nbsp; In 2013, Dr Bonci and his team published a pivotal study in Nature that provided the first scientific rationale for using rTMS in patients with cocaine use disorder.
