The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of the way transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, affects the brain. The study hypothesis that when theta burst stimulation (TBS) is applied during a controlled mental state, network changes will be facilitated, compared to stimulation when mental state is uncontrolled. This study will focus on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and the associated frontoparietal network (FPN), which subserves cognitive control - the ability to flexibly adapt and regulate behavior, an ability known to be impaired in neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression and dementia.
Healthy volunteers that qualify for this study will have psychological assessments and cognitive measures, as well as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans, completed after administration of TMS. Participants will be asked to come in for a total of five visits that include; a screening and assessment visit; a baseline functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan, followed by TMS session; Visits 3, 4, and 5 will be the experimental TMS session, followed by fMRI scan.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Healthy | Device: TMS Behavioral: n-back working memory task | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 48 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | All participants will have 3 MRI sessions subsequent to the baseline visit and these will occur in a counterbalanced order. |
Masking: | Single (Participant) |
Masking Description: | All subjects will receive all interventions in a cross-over design. The three intervention sessions (visits 3, 4 & 5) will be given in counter-balanced order, stratified by gender. Subjects will be blind to the nature of the questions being asked; however, they will be told that different stimulation paradigms will be used, which will be evident to the subjects as they go through the procedures. |
