DEVICE

Active 10-Hz TMS to the DLPFC

The active group will receive 10hz TMS stimulation. Participants in the active stimulation group will receive10-Hz TMS to left DLPFC. The LDLPFC will be based on 4 targeting neuroimaging methods (cortical thickness, fMRI, diffusion imaging, functional connectivity). TMS will be delivered using a robotic neuronavigation system (Smartmove, ANT). Stimulation intensity will be standardized at 110% of RMT and adjusted to the skull to cortical surface based on e-field calculations (simnibs). Stimulation will be delivered to the L-DLPFC using a active/placebo figure-8 coil and a magventure TMS device.

DEVICE

Sham TMS-DLPFC

The parameters in the active arms will be as above with the internal randomization of the device internally switching to sham in a blinded fashion.
