Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Schizophrenia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical current flowing through a coil induces a magnetic field. This is the basis for MRI, a technology that has been groundbreaking in furthering our understanding of the human brain with respect to structure and function. Correspondingly, changes in magnetic fields can also induce electrical currents. When applied in proximity to live brain tissue, alternating magnetic fields can induce electrical currents that will lead to depolarization in neurons, causing them to fire. Thus, we can use electromagnetism not only to image the brain, but to probe it.
