Abstract：Transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS)is a non-invasive physical therapy technique that has demonstrated clear efficacy in treating various neurological diseases.However,its therapeutic efficacy varies significantly between individuals,and precise localization of personalized stimulation targets is critical to improving efficacy.Structural MRI can guide TMS by accounting for individual differences in brain anatomy.Functional MRI can identify individualized coordinates of brain function and abnormal brain activity,providing personalized stimulation targets for TMS.Resting-state fMRI functional connectivity is believed to provide a"bridge",enabling magnetic stimulation to propagate from the cortical surface to deep effect targets.This article introduces the progress of MRI in the precise localization of TMS targets.
