Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been found to be promising in the neurorehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Aphasia and cognitive impairment (CI) are prevalent post-stroke; however, there is still a lack of consensus about the characteristics of interventions based on TMS and its neuropsychological and anatomical-functional benefits. Therefore, studies that contribute to creating TMS protocols for these neurological conditions are necessary.

Article Synopsis
- Semantic and Phonological fluency (SF and PF) are important tasks for evaluating language abilities in patients with Alzheimer's disease, with debates on which is more affected during the disease's progression.
- A meta-analysis of 8 studies involving 1,270 individuals found that all groups performed better on SF than PF, with significant differences noted as individuals moved toward an AD diagnosis.
- The study suggests that SF and PF may operate on different neural pathways, indicating their potential value in diagnosing Alzheimer's and distinguishing normal aging from pathological conditions.
