Official Title: Deep rTMS Modulating Insula Synaptic Density and Smoking Behavior in Schizophrenia

Brief Summary: Purpose of the study: Evaluate the effect of deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (deep rTMS; hereafter abbreviated as "dTMS") on synaptic density measured with positron emission tomography (PET) and the radiotracer [11C]UCB-J.We also seek to link plasticity changes in the regions targeted by the electric field (especially, the insula) to changes in the functioning of insula circuits and behavioral cigarette usage in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ).Importance of the study: This is the…
