Summary

This study looked at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS affects communication between the prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex in healthy young adults. 54 right-handed volunteers aged 18-30 completed tasks while their brain activity was measured with fMRI. The goal was to understand brain control processes, not to treat any disease.
