Summary

This study explores whether precise brain stimulation can lower cannabis cravings in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Researchers will use a type of magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on specific brain areas and measure changes in cravings and brain activity. The goal is to understand the brain circuits involved, not to provide a treatment yet. About 100 participants, including healthy controls who use cannabis, will take part.
