Abstract:
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive stimulation that can be used tostudy the cognitive processes of the brain. High-frequency TMS can achieve the purpose of treatingneurological diseases by changing the synaptic activity of the cerebral cortex to affect the excitabilitylevel of the cerebral cortex and improve the neural activity of specific brain regions. TMS is an effectivetool for studying working memory mechanisms. Using TMS to intervene in working memory of patientswith mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can improve the processing speed of working memory tasks andimprove the memory ability of MCI patients. It also has a good intervention effect on the overall cognitiveability of MCI patients.
经颅磁刺激(TMS)作为一种非侵入性刺激可以用于研究大脑认知过程。高频TMS通过改变大脑皮质的突触活动以影响大脑皮层的兴奋性水平,并改善特定脑区的神经活动,可以达到治疗神经系统疾病的目的。TMS是一种研究工作记忆机制的有效工具,用TMS对轻度认知障碍(mildcognitiveimpairments,MCI)患者的工作记忆进行干预,可以提高工作记忆任务的加工速度,改善MCI患者的记忆能力,并且对MCI患者的整体认知能力也有良好的干预效果。
