Summary

This study aims to find the best spot in the brain to stimulate with magnetic pulses (TMS) to increase reward-related brain activity in smokers. Researchers will test different targeting methods in 36 nicotine-dependent adults across three sessions. The goal is to see which target best boosts decision-making and reduces cravings, potentially leading to better treatments for nicotine addiction.
