NCT ID NCT06919172
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) changes brain activity and connections in areas linked to thinking and control. Fifty-nine healthy young adults received TMS while researchers measured brain responses with fMRI. The goal was to learn more about how these brain regions work together, not to treat any disease.
What this could mean
