Chronometric Interleaved TMS-fMRI shows State-dependent Network Effects underlying Speech Production.

Summary: Have you ever wondered how our brains control speech? Scientists used a special magnet (called TMS) to briefly pause people's speech while taking pictures of their brains in an MRI scanner. They found something surprising! Instead of turning the brain "off" like a light switch, the magnet actually made the brain work too hard when applied at just the right moment during speaking. This sudden over-activity in the language areas is what caused the speech pause. This changes how we think about brain stimulation and shows that timing is everything when it comes to the brain!
