Recommendation
With gut-wrenching tales about long-term cocaine addicts, Science magazine journalist Meredith Wadman explains how noninvasive, repetitive magnetic stimulation to the brain may change addiction treatment. Now clinical trials will determine the safety and efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in people who have been unable to kick their cocaine habit. getAbstract recommends this article to anyone who is a cocaine addict, knows someone who is, or wants to understand how rTMS treats cocaine addiction.
