This Science news article describes efforts to treat cocaine addiction by activating or inhibiting specific brain circuits with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
TMS works by producing magnetic fields close to the scalp which in turn induce currents in different brain areas.
This can result in activating or deactivating circuits depending on the pattern and location of the stimulation.
More extensive clinical trials are being organized.
