19. Transcraneal magnetic stimulation

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) a relatively young technique, described 30years ago as a non-invasive means of stimulating the cerebral cortex, and has proved to be a unique tool for probing brain-behavior relationships. First described as a diagnostic resource, therapeutic role for rTMS in neuropsychiatry has been demonstrated in diverse neuroscience areas. We review studies on the mechanisms of action of rTMS, and present a summary of the news applications of TMS in basic neuroscience.
