Progresses of MR-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation for treating Alzheimer's disease
Transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS)is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique which could improve cognitive and memory function in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD)to some extent.The targeting errors of traditional TMS were often significant.Utilizing various MR techniques could accurately visualize localization information of brain structures and functions,hence being helpful for precise TMS.The progresses of MR-guided TMS for treating AD were reviewed in this article.
