Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Cognitive Brain Research

  • 1312 Accesses

Abstract

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a widely used technique for noninvasive study of basic neurophysiological processes and the relation between the brain and behavior. It has a unique contribution in that it helps determine the need for brain areas for a particular task without the problem of diaschisis and compensatory plasticity seen with traditional lesion studies and that correlation methods of functional neuroimaging alone lack. In cognitive brain research, TMS has been employed to study perception, attention, learning, plasticity, language, and awareness. Its utility has also been extended to therapeutic research on neuropsychiatric conditions including mood disorders, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and movement disorders. TMS can be combined with other neuroimaging techniques, such as electroencephalography, positron emission tomography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate systematically the functional contribution of specific brain regions to cognitive task performance. A brief overview of the current contributions of TMS in cognitive brain research is presented, and important issues to be resolved in the application of TMS to cognitive studies are highlighted. The persistence of the TMS effect and the safety of this method for human studies are also briefly discussed.
