Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (RTMS) is a novel, non-invasive and painless technique to stimulate the human brain with the intent to alter excitability or function of the stimulated cortex or its connections. This review focuses on RTMS induced changes in excitability, the potential mechanisms underlying these effects, and the usefulness of this knowledge to gain insight into mechanisms of other processes such as learning.
