Background: Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), may offer an alternative treatment strategy for impulsive behaviour. By modulating brain activity, these techniques could potentially enhance impulse control and mitigate impulsivity.
Aims: To provide a comprehensive analysis of the correlation between NIBS parameters, targeted brain regions and impulsivity.

Dysphagia is a frequent and life-threatening complication of multiple sclerosis (MS). Swallowing disturbances may be present at all stages of MS, although their prevalence increases with age, with disease duration, and in progressive phenotypes. The pathophysiology of dysphagia in MS is likely due to a combination of factors, including the involvement of corticobulbar tracts, the cerebellum, and the brainstem.

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of combined early rehabilitation therapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with sports knee injuries (SKI).
Methods: A total of 62 SKI patients from June 2021 to June 2022 were randomly selected by computer and divided into group A (31 cases, early rehabilitation therapy) and group B (31 cases, early rehabilitation therapy +rTMS) by numbered envelope method. The effects of the two groups were compared.

Objectives: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive neurostimulation technique that uses magnetic field to comprehensively influence events in the brain. Its use in patients after stroke focuses mainly on influencing brain neuroplasticity and therefore has the potential to improve motor functions in these patients. This study investigates the effect of rTMS on motor function recovery in patients in the acute stage of ischemic stroke.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a serious complication in elderly patients after major surgery, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Treatment and prevention methods are limited. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) shows potential in enhancing cognitive function and improving consciousness.
