Advances and Future Directions:
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, particularly TMS and tDCS, have shown potential in enhancing cognitive functions across various neurological and psychiatric conditions. While rTMS appears more effective for global cognition and neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's disease, both TMS and tDCS have demonstrated small but significant improvements in working memory and attention across multiple disorders. Continued research and advancements in stimulation protocols are essential to fully realize the clinical utility of these techniques.
