Summary

This study used a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to temporarily quiet specific brain areas in 17 healthy adults. The goal was to see how these areas affect the reflex that keeps your eyes steady when you move your head. The research helps us understand which parts of the brain control balance and spatial orientation, but it does not test a treatment or cure.
