Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is the use of magnetic fields to modify brain activity. Schizophrenia symptoms are tied in with the neural activity between the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center used transcranial magnetic stimulation in attempt to alleviate schizophrenia symptoms. Patients who went through TMS were found to have an increase in connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. The treatment is new and does not work the same on everyone. The amount of symptoms that were alleviated were different between people.
