Introduction: The aim of present study was investigating effect of rTMS on improvement working memory and symptom of bipolar disorder in subjects. Method: To do so, 30bipolar disorder were selected among Tehran clinics’ clients using Purposeful sampling. For assessing working memory, N-back test was conducted by all subject For assessing bipolar symptoms, Beck Depression Inventory and Young Mania Inventory was conducted by all subjects. Subjects were divided into two groups; 15 subjects received rTMS and rest of them that is called control group didn’t receive it. Training sessions were conducted for 20 days; each day one session -20 minutes. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings: The results showed that effect of rTMS on working memory performance and bipolar symptoms improvemen thas been effective. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that rTMS can improve working memory performance and improve symptomsin subjects with bipolar disorder.

Introduction: The main aim of present study was to compare the effect of Neurofeedback training and Neurofeedback along with cognitive rehabilitation on ADHD children’s improvement. Method: To do so, 20 elementary students with ADHD were selected among Tehran clinics’ clients through purposive sampling. For assessing attention, TOVA test was conducted by all subjects as continues performance test. Subjects were divided in to two groups; 10 subjects received Neurofeedback training alone and another group trained Neurofeedback along with cognitive rehabilitation. Training session were conducted for 10 weeks; each week three sessions. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings: The results showed that effect size of Neurofeedback along with cognitive rehabilitation was higher than Neurofeedback training alone on impulsivity problems’ reduction. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that Neurofeedback can decrease signs of ADHD and the effect of Neurofeedback can be more obvious if cognitive rehabilitation is added.

Introduction: Depression is a common disorder, therefore, it is very important to identify effective and permanent treatment. The aim of the present research was to compare two cases of new non-invaing treatments, the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation therapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on depression symptoms’ reduction. Method: To do so, 20 patient with depression where selected and were randomly assigned to two groups; i.e. transcranial direct current stimulation therapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Subjects completed the Beck Depression Inventory through pretest, posttest and follow up intervals. The data were analyzed using repeated measure of analysis of variance. Findings: The finding revealed that both treatments were effective in reducing depression symptoms but, no significant difference was found between the two methods. However, there was a difference between the groups in follow up scores. The mean of scores of follow up condition had a sensible change inrelation to the rTMS group. Conclusion: The results of the study indicated the superiority of the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, the other treatment was more in the course of time.
