Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS could improve language in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a condition that slowly destroys the ability to speak and understand language. Ten adults with different types of PPA received daily TMS sessions for two weeks. Researchers measured changes in naming ability and brain connectivity to see if the treatment had any effect.
