Summary

The proposed study will measure the change of cortical excitability during nicotine craving and examine the effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on nicotine craving and cue-reactivity among adult regular smokers.

Conditions

  • Nicotine Dependence

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Neuronetics)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a noninvasive brain stimulation that can focally stimulate the brain of an awake individual. A TMS pulse focally stimulates the cortex by depolarizing superficial neurons which induces electrical currents in the brain.

DEVICE

Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

The electrical current of the sham system is titrated to a level matching participants' ratings of active TMS.The sham-TMS scalp discomfort will be matched to that of active TMS.
