Abstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive stimulation technique applied to the cerebral cortex for the treatment of functional brain disorders, but also for the research of brain mechanisms. The combination of TMS with functional brain examination techniques such as fMRI, positron emission tomography (PET), and electroencephalography (EEG) makes it possible to observe brain network activities associated with specific functional cortices and elucidate the association between cortical networks and behaviors. It can also reveal neural mechanisms and efficacy predictive markers associated with rTMS treatment. This chapter will describe TMS and several functional brain examination techniques, the combination of TMS with these techniques, and related studies on their applications.
