Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation tool which can alter neural activity in the cortical region directly under the coil as well as in monosynaptic afferent projections. Single pulses of TMS applied to the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), for example, can increase activity in the caudate and putamen as measured by functional MRI (1). Given that the prefrontal-striatal circuits are important for motivated behavior they have become a target for potential therapeutic rTMS interventions in addiction.
