DEVICE

Hippocampal stimulation using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

"We will use fMRI resting state data to personalize a TMS inhibitory stimulation to a cortical location that is the most strongly connected to a deeper left hippocampal target.~5 once a week sessions of rTMS will be delivered at 1-Hz stimulation frequency for 15 minutes following trauma memory reactivation."

DEVICE

Sham stimulation using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

We will use fMRI resting state data to personalize a TMS sham stimulation to a cortical location with near zero connectivity to a deeper left hippocampal target. 5 once a week sessions of rTMS will be delivered at 1-Hz stimulation frequency for 15 minutes following trauma memory reactivation.
