Attributed extracts from the research record

“All subjects underwent 3 PHNO-PET scans preceded by rTMS (sham, 1 Hz or 10 Hz ), on 3 separate days. Low frequency rTMS (1 Hz), targeting the insular cortex, significantly decreased dopamine levels in the substantia nigra, sensorimotor striatum and associative striatum.”
