Summary
This study tested two types of brain stimulation (TMS) in 90 smokers, half with schizophrenia and half without. The goal was to see if TMS could change brain connections and reduce nicotine cravings. Participants completed thinking tasks and reported their cravings before and after each week of stimulation. The results will help understand how TMS affects the brain in people with and without mental illness.
