Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS could change attention and nicotine cravings in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who smoke. Fifteen adults completed the study, which measured brain activity and cravings before and after stimulation. The goal was to learn how brain networks linked to attention work, not to provide a treatment.
