Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have evolved significantly since the 1950s. TMS is now a valuable tool in neurology for studying brain function and disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Noninvasive electrical brain stimulation attempts began in the 1950s.
  • Clinical transcranial electrical stimulation methods emerged in the early 1980s.
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was developed in the mid-1980s, enabling non-painful brain and nerve stimulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical development and applications of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques.
  • To highlight the utility of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in clinical neurology and research.
  • To discuss the capabilities of TMS in modulating brain activity for functional mapping and lesion creation.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques.

  • Description of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) principles and applications.
  • Discussion of TMS use in studying central motor conduction time and brain physiology.

    • Main Results:

    • TMS allows for non-painful stimulation of the brain and nerves.
    • TMS is widely used in clinical neurology to assess central motor conduction time.
    • TMS can excite or inhibit brain activity, enabling functional mapping and transient lesion creation.

    Conclusions:

    • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a common and versatile tool in neuroscience research.
    • TMS facilitates the study of human brain physiology, motor function, and brain disorder pathophysiology.
    • The evolution of noninvasive brain stimulation has provided powerful methods for investigating brain function.
