Ⅰ. What is transcranial magnetic stimulation? Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technology applies a time-varying pulsed magnetic field to penetrate the skull to form an induced electric field in the brain, thereby generating an induced current that acts on the nervous system, causing a series of physiological and biochemical reactions, affecting brain metabolism and changing neuronal excitability to improve...

Journal: Hum Brain Mapp. 2020;41(5):1362-1371.Authors: He Z, Zhao J, Shen J, Muhlert N, Elliott R, Zhang D. Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (RVLPFC) is crucially involved in downregulating physical and social pain. However, it remains unclear whether the RVLPFC is more specific to either physical or social pain. Objective:... Read more
Journal: J Neurosci. 2021;41(6):1331-1339.Authors: Zhao, J., Mo, L., Bi, R., He, Z., Chen, Y., Xu, F., Xie, H., & Zhang, D. Background: The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and ventrolateral PFC (VLPFC) are both crucial structures involved in voluntary emotional regulation. However, it remains unclear whether the functions of these two cortical regions that are involved... Read more
Precise positioning is an important cornerstone for threshold detection and guaranteeing treatment effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). At present, there are several commonly used positioning methods, such as the 5cm positioning method and the TMS navigation system. Each positioning method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The 5cm positioning method is convenient and fast... Read more
