Rewiring the Brain with Magnetic Fields

Quick fact

A TMS coil generates a rapidly changing magnetic field that passes unimpeded through the scalp and skull, inducing a weak electric current in the underlying brain tissue that can depolarize neurons and modulate their firing patterns.

Why this is interesting

What if a magnetic coil placed against your scalp could lift a depression that medication hasn't touched—without surgery or sedation?
