DEVICE

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation 10Hz

3\. rTMS subjects will receive 20 trains of rTMS at a rate of 10 Hz for 6 seconds (1200 pulses/session). Pulses will be administered over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, defined as 5 cm anterior and in a parasagital plane to the point of maximum stimulation of the abductor pollicis muscle. Pulse intensity will be set at 100% motor threshold.

DEVICE

Magnetic stimulation using a special sham coil

Sham stimulation will be given at the same location as the active, with special sham coil.
