Electric Stimulation of Brain can Boost Memory

Researchers at Northwestern Medicine have found that utilizing Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a technique through which a particular region in the brain is stimulated through non-invasive delivery of electrical current using magnetic pulses, can lead to improved memory. The discovery opens a new field of possibilities for treating memory impairments caused by conditions such as stroke, early-stage Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest and ...
