Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a powerful technique using strong magnetic fields to stimulate specific brain regions, significantly outperforming other non-invasive methods by inducing neuronal firing. TMS can vary in its effects depending on frequency—low-frequency applications inhibit neural activity, while high-frequency applications promote it. Furthermore, understanding brain networks such as the central executive network, default mode network, and salience network is crucial; these networks play dynamic roles in cognitive function, attentional control, and emotional regulation, allowing for targeted therapies in treatment-resistant mental disorders.
Unlike other noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, TMS actually causes neurons to fire. This capability allows it to effectively target specific brain regions.
The three key brain networks, CEN, DMN, and SN, interact dynamically, influencing cognitive functions and our ability to pay attention and manage tasks.
