Dr. Stearns who studies what happens behaviorally when she temporarily impairs a brain region is mots likely using the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS is a non-invasive method of brain stimulation used to treat major depression. Non-invasive means that this method does not involve surgery, insertion of intravenous lines or anything else put into your body.

She is using "transcranial magnetic stimulation".


Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive methodology that utilizations attractive fields to stimulate nerve cells in the mind to enhance manifestations of dejection. TMS is commonly utilized when other depression medications haven't been powerful.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is normally utilized when standard medicines, for example, meds and talk treatment (psychotherapy) don't work.
