Abstract in brief

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe, noninvasive technique that uses electromagnetic induction to stimulate the brain, helping researchers understand brain functions, especially in the frontal lobes, by temporarily disrupting specific areas and observing the effects.
Unlike neuroimaging, which only shows correlations between brain activity and behavior, TMS can actively interact with neural circuits, allowing scientists to establish causal relationships and study brain functions across different models like humans and primates.
Clinically, TMS is mainly used to treat depression that doesn't respond to medication, using high-frequency stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and ongoing research is exploring its potential for conditions like stroke and Alzheimer's disease, although many uses are not yet approved by the FDA.
