Summary
This study looked at how two different patterns of non-invasive brain stimulation (called iTBS) affect brain plasticity—the brain's ability to change and adapt. Twenty-nine healthy, right-handed adults aged 18 to 50 took part. Researchers compared a standard pattern used for depression treatment with a new spaced pattern, using a sham (fake) stimulation as a control. The goal was to see which pattern produces stronger changes in brain activity, measured by muscle responses in the hand.
