Summary
This study looks at how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) changes brain activity in healthy adults. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain and is already approved for depression. Researchers want to understand these brain changes to help design better treatments for drug addiction. About 70 healthy, right-handed adults aged 18-60 who do not use drugs will take part in brain scans with and without TMS.
