Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Can Disrupt Neural Circuits in Awake

question 110

Multiple Choice

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can disrupt neural circuits in awake humans. The notion that short-term memory (STM) for a visual stimulus involves continued activation of the appropriate visual association cortex is supported by studies in which

• A) TMS applied to the ventral stream disrupted STM for a visual location.
• B) TMS can be used to elicit perceptual memories.
• C) TMS applied to the ventral stream disrupted STM for a visual pattern.
• D) global amnesia is noted after chronic TMS in depressed humans.
• E) TMS of the motor cortex disrupts visual STM.
