Abstract
Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex suppressed reward-related signaling in the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC), resulting in a change in goal-directed behavior. Continuous TBS had no effect. While these results are inconsistent with reported TBS effects on motor cortex, the present findings offer normative insights into the magnitude and time course of TBS-induced changes in aMCC excitability during goal-directed behavior.
