Modulating Inhibitory Control Networks in Gambling Disorder With Theta Burst Stimulation
In this project the investigators propose a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled design in which 40 patients with GD will receive active or sham cTBS to the pre-SMA for 2 weeks. The investigators will combine TMS, multimodal structural and functional MRI and behavioral measures in order to identify circuit-level mechanisms of action and therapeutic targets (connectivity changes that explain clinical improvement) and assess the efficacy of TMS in modulating inhibitory control and symptom severity in this population.
