Interventions
High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (active rTMS)
HF-rTMS is applied with a figure-of-8 coil using the Magstim TMS System. Participants receive one administration of HF-rTMS, delivered to the region of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) with greatest resting-state functional connectivity to the dorsal striatum (individualized per participant). HF-rTMS is delivered at a frequency of 10 Hz for approximately 37 minutes (3000 total pulses).
Sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (sham rTMS)
Sham rTMS is applied with a figure-of-8 sham coil using the Magstim TMS System, which is identical to the active coil, replicates the sounds of HF-rTMS, and is designed to mimic sensations of HF-rTMS. Participants receive one administration of sham rTMS, delivered to the region of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) with greatest resting-state functional connectivity to the dorsal striatum (individualized per participant). Sham rTMS is delivered for approximately 37 minutes (3000 total pulses).
