Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

Meaning

A group of advanced clinical techniques used to modulate neuronal activity in specific brain regions without requiring surgery or pharmacological agents, offering a targeted approach to influence brain function. Common methods include Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), which use magnetic fields or weak electrical currents, respectively, to safely alter cortical excitability. These techniques are employed to improve mood, enhance cognitive performance, and treat neurological conditions by leveraging neuroplasticity.
