Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in PFC-PPC activation

    blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal in areas of the prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex assessed with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) \[note, this measure has no units\]

    baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after intervention

  • Change in PFC-PPC effective connectivity

    effective connectivity among areas of the prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex in the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal assessed with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) \[note, this measure has no units\]

    baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Change in contextual control speed

    baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after intervention

  • Change in contextual control accuracy

    baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after intervention

  • Change in temporal control speed

    baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after intervention

  • Change in temporal control accuracy

    baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after intervention

Study Arms (3)

MFG-TMS

EXPERIMENTAL

Transcranial magnetic stimulation to the middle frontal gyrus. 600 pulses delivered in 50 Hz bursts every 5 Hz for 2 seconds repeated every 10 seconds at 80% of resting motor threshold.

Device: transcranial magnetic stimulation

IPL-TMS

EXPERIMENTAL

Transcranial magnetic stimulation to the inferior parietal lobule. 600 pulses delivered in 50 Hz bursts every 5 Hz for 2 seconds repeated every 10 seconds at 80% of resting motor threshold.

Device: transcranial magnetic stimulation

S1-TMS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Transcranial magnetic stimulation to the primary somatosensory cortex. 600 pulses delivered in 50 Hz bursts every 5 Hz for 2 seconds repeated every 10 seconds at 80% of resting motor threshold.

Device: transcranial magnetic stimulation

Interventions

Transcranial magnetic stimulation delivered to the scalp targeting specific brain structures via stereotactic guidance.
