Abstract:Background: 10-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to increase dopaminergic activity in the dorsal striatum, a region strongly implicated in reinforcement learning. However, the behavioural influence of this effect remains largely unknown. Objective: Here, we tested the causal effects of rTMS on behavioral and computational characteristics of reinforcement learning. Methods: 40 healthy individuals were randomized into Active… Show more
