Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive method used to stimulate small regions of the brain. By targeting specific areas, TMS can temporarily deactivate them, allowing researchers to study the functions of that area by observing the effects of its reduced activity, similar to how one might study the effects of a stroke.
