Non-invasive brain stimulation Neurostimulation

transcranial magnetic stimulation

compared electrical stimulation utilizes brief, high-voltage electric shock activate neurons, can potentially activate pain fibers, transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) developed baker in 1985. tms uses magnetic wire above scalp, carries sharp , high current pulse. time variant magnetic field induced perpendicular coil due applied pulse consequently generates electric field based on maxwell s law. electric field provides necessary current non-invasive , less painful stimulation. there 2 tms devices called single pulse tms , repetitive pulse tms (rtms) while latter has greater effect potential cause seizure. tms can used therapy particularly in psychiatry, tool measure central motor conduction , research tool study different aspects of human brain physiology such motor function, vision, , language. rtms method has been used treat epilepsy rates of 8–25 hz 10 seconds. other therapeutic uses of rtms include parkinson diseases, dystonia , mood diseases. also, tms can used determine contribution of cortical networks specific cognitive functions disrupting activity in focal brain region. early, inconclusive, results have been obtained in recovery coma (persistent vegetative state) pape et al. (2009).



transcranial electrical stimulation techniques. while tdcs uses constant current intensity, trns , tacs use oscillating current. vertical axis represents current intensity in milliamp (ma), while horizontal axis illustrates time-course.
