AI Article Synopsis

  • Spatial targeting in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) often overlooks the unique brain organization of individuals.
  • The proposed targeted functional network stimulation (TANS) protocol aims to personalize TMS based on individual brain anatomy and folding patterns.
  • The protocol includes steps for creating a head model, determining optimal coil placement, and adjusting stimulation intensity to reduce unintended effects, with further details found in Lynch et al. (2022).

Article Abstract

Spatial targeting in transcranial magnetic stimulation protocols does not typically account for the idiosyncratic functional organization of individual human brains. Here, we provide a protocol for implementing targeted functional network stimulation (TANS), which accounts for each individual's unique functional neuroanatomy and cortical folding patterns. Using an example dataset, we describe how to create a head model and estimate the best coil placement and stimulation intensity to minimize off-target effects. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lynch et al. (2022)..
