Oberman then obtained a mentored postdoctoral fellowship at the Berenson - Allen Center for
Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Harvard Medical School where she developed paradigms using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study brain plasticity and excitability in individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
«These results suggest that brain networks might be used to help us better understand why brain stimulation works and to improve therapy by identifying the best place to stimulate the brain for each individual patient and given disease,» says senior author Alvaro Pascual - Leone, MD, PhD, the Director of the Berenson - Allen Center for
Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at BIDMC and Professor of Neurology at HMS.

A study, published today in Science Advances, found that when scientists used
noninvasive brain stimulation to disrupt a
brain region called the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), people appeared less able to see things from the point of view of their future selves or of another person, and consequently were less likely to share money with others and more inclined to opt for immediate cash instead of waiting for a larger bounty
at a later date.
«Although different types of
brain stimulation are currently applied in different locations, we found that the targets used to treat the same disease are nodes in the same connected brain network,» says first author Michael D. Fox, MD, PhD, an investigator in the Berenson - Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation and in the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center at B

However, getting this same benefit with
noninvasive stimulation is difficult, as you can't directly stimulate the same site deep in the
brain from outside the head,» explains Fox, an Assistant Professor of Neurology
at Harvard Medical School (HMS).
