First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study used a gentle brain stimulation technique called TMS to temporarily quiet a part of the brain involved in reading. Researchers wanted to see how this affected the ability of 42 teens with dyslexia to learn and remember made-up words. The goal was to better understand the brain processes behind reading difficulties, not to provide a treatment.
