Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique which primarily affects activity of small, targeted areas of the cortical parts of the brain. We use individualized TMS to cause network-level effects, to investigate how TMS affects downstream areas connected to the stimulated cortical location. We are especially interested in using TMS to modulate the hippocampal memory network in order to better understand how the hippocampus supports long-term memory.
