Conclusion
’s basal memorization
In this study, we present a new combined-stimuli protocol in which TMS is focused on hippocampal-oriented stimulation and paired with a WM task that triggers endogenous hippocampal activity, resulting in increased intrasession memorization capacity. In addition, we found that these memory effects were dependent on the stimulation location and the subject’s basal memorization capacity. Future research is required to measure hippocampal feedback and assess the effects of different ISIs to unveil the changes in neural mechanisms that enhance the ability to memorize. Finally, this combined-stimuli protocol is potentially significant for individuals affected by memory decline.We gratefully would like to thank Grace Hoo (Legs + Walking Lab, Shirley Ryan Ability Lab) for her assistance in language comments.
