Targeting Fronto-Striatal Neural Circuitry Using Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Reduce Irritability
Sponsor: Yale University
Summary
This pilor study will use repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as a noninvasive circuit-based neural modulation to test frontostriatal circuitry as a potential target to reduce irritability.

Conditions
Interventions
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation in which a changing magnetic field is used to cause electric current at a specific area of the brain through electromagnetic induction. To administer TMS, a stimulator equipped with a figure-8 coil will be used. Two separate coils will be used that are similar in appearance and acoustic properties. One active, unblinded, coil will be used to determine resting motor threshold (RMT) and deliver pulses for the recruitment curves; the other coil will be used to deliver rTMS. rTMS stimulation will be targeted to l-dlPFC.
fMRI
fMRI will be performed pre- and post rTMS
