Abstract Purpose of Review This current review summarizes the investigational and
therapeutic applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in schizophrenia. Recent …

Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation can be combined with electromyography
(TMS-EMG) and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) to evaluate the excitatory and …

Negative symptoms and cognitive deficits are difficult-to-treat symptoms of schizophrenia. In
this single blind randomized controlled study, we compared change in social cognitive …

Background Mirror neuron system (MNS) consists of visuomotor neurons that are
responsible for the mirror neuron activity (MNA), meaning that each time an individual …

Altered cortical excitability is reported in schizophrenia and depression, but findings are
inconsistent. Prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) induces short-term …

Cortical excitation-inhibition (E/I) imbalance is a potential model for the pathophysiology of
schizophrenia. Previous research using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and …

Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) exhibit an aberrant perception and
comprehension of abstract speech-gesture combinations associated with dysfunctional …

Neural plasticity refers to the capability of the brain to modify its structure and/or function and
organization in response to a changing environment. Evidence shows that disruption of …

The association between social cognition and putative mirror neuron system (MNS)-activity
in major psychoses might be contingent upon frontal dysregulation. We used a …

Background: Diminished motor resonance (facilitation of motor potentials during action
observation) is possibly related to social cognition deficits in schizophrenia. Adequate social …
