Personalized brain stimulation of memory networks

Abstract

Background: The finding that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can enhance memory performance via stimulation of parietal sites within the Cortical-Hippocampal Network counts as one of the most exciting findings in this field in the past decade. However, the first independent effort aiming to fully replicate this finding found no discernible influence of TMS on memory performance. Objective: We examined whether this might relate to interindividual spatial variation in brain connectivity architecture, and the capacity of personalisation methodologies to overcome the noise inherent across independent scanners and cohorts. Methods: We implemented recently detailed personalisation methodol..
