Stanford scientists zap brains to unlock schizophrenia secrets
NCT ID NCT07010614
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can change brain activity in people with schizophrenia. Researchers will measure brain waves before and after stimulation to understand how the hippocampus works in this condition. The goal is not to treat symptoms directly, but to gather knowledge that could lead to better therapies in the future. About 60 adults with schizophrenia or related disorders will participate.
