[Abstract] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique based on Faraday's principle of electromagnetic induction. With the advantages of non-invasive, safe, and well-tolerated, TMS has made great progress in the clinical application of neurological psychiatric, and psychiatric disorders. However, it remains to be explored in the fields of the selection and localization of the stimulation target, the effects of TMS on the brain network functional connectivity, and how the brain network status affects the clinical outcome of TMS. Blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can detect brain activity in the deep brain area with high spatial resolution, non-invasiveness, and no radiation. With such advantages of fMRI, the combination of fMRI and TMS (fMRI-TMS) has been increasingly put into clinical application and neuroscience research. This paper reviews the research of fMRI-TMS in the precise and personalized localization of TMS targets and its influence on the brain network. It also introduces the limitations and prospects of fMRI-TMS in brief.
