Antipsychotic drugs
Stable antipsychotic medication 4 weeks before and during the treatment. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) equivalent dosages were calculated for second- and first-generation antipsychotic drugs
cTBS（the left temporoparietal cortex as the stimulation target）
Participants received 3 daily sessions of cTBS treatment. One session of cTBS was 40 seconds in duration and consisted of 3-pulse bursts at 50 Hz repeated every 200 milliseconds (5 Hz) until a total of 600 pulses was reached. To achieve cumulative aftereffects, this protocol was repeated 3 times and (1800 pulses in total) separated by two 15 minute breaks
cTBS （the left cerebellum Crus II as the stimulation target）
