However, it is difficult to give up smoking by relying on the help of tra- ditional treatments only. Recent years have witnessed emerging positive evidence that non-invasive brain stimu- lation （NIBS）, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct-current stimulation, can reduce smoking-related behaviors. Although their potential has been implied by advances in research, several method- ological issues restrict the clinical application of NIBS to treating nicotine dependence. In this review, we critically evaluate related studies and give suggestions for future research and applications to meet these challenges.展开更多
