10 Questions
What is the need for further studies in the field of Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS)?
To understand mechanisms of action, establish safety limits, develop effective protocols, and define optimal parameters for various disorders.
Why are well-designed randomized controlled trials necessary to establish TMS's role in treating brain disorders?
To confirm its effectiveness and role in brain disorder treatment.
What does the document emphasize about the historical solidity and replicability of TMS effects in cognitive studies?
Solid foundation and replicability in sensory domain, language functions, and study of action perception, preparation, and production.
How can TMS be used neuromodulatorily to induce plasticity?
By applying TMS to modulate neural activity and induce changes in cortical plasticity.
What are the different variants in which TMS can be applied?
Single pulses, multiple pulses, or repetitively (like rTMS and theta-burst stimulation).
What are the physiological effects of single-pulse TMS?
Generally excitatory effects.
When is repetitive 1 Hz rTMS often used?
As an inhibitory intervention.
What insights does TMS provide in cognitive neuroscience?
Insights into the functioning of the human brain.
Why is the choice of TMS application variant important in experiments?
Because each variant has unique physiological and behavioral effects based on the experiment's hypothesis and purpose.
What are the different non-invasive human brain stimulation techniques mentioned in the text?
TMS, tES (Transcranial Electrical Stimulation), tDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation), tACS (Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation), and tRNS (Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation).
Test your knowledge on the integration of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to enhance understanding of perceptual and cognitive processes. Explore the diverse applications of combining TMS with fMRI in investigating pre-stimulus cortical states, physiological activities, distal effects, and cognitive functions.
