Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation reduces nicotine dependence and potentially modulates white matter microstructure in smokers: a pilot study by diffusion spectrum imaging
These results suggest that rTMS over the left DLPFC is a potential effective strategy for nicotine dependence and craving, which is probably due to the modulation of the right NAc fibers. The right NAc emerged as a region of interest that warrants further investigation as a potential therapeutic target.
