Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique used to stimulate specific areas of the brain using magnetic fields. It has shown promising results in reducing auditory hallucinations in individuals with schizophrenia. Lesions of the auditory cortex or electrical stimulation of the auditory cortex are invasive procedures that may lead to further complications. Gene therapy is a relatively new field and is not currently used to treat schizophrenia or its symptoms.
