Exploring Precise Brain Stimulation to Understand Brain Areas
1:24:46 - 1:29:50 (05:04)
Different brain areas can be probed non-invasively with precision through brain stimulation experiments with patient volunteers, leading to a better understanding of preferred brain areas for stimulation.

Summary
The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is being explored as potential treatment for addiction, with some success in treating depression, OCD and nicotine addiction. TMS is applied to the frontal lobe and different parts of it have different effects on the brain.

Experiments with a couple of different brain areas involving patients who were allowed to stimulate with mild electric shocks, revealed that all three of them preferred an area in the midline thalamic structure, which produced feelings of anger and frustration, according to a transcript from the podcast 'Neurotalk'.
