Modulating implicit food-related tendencies via repetitive TMS of the intraparietal sulcus. A proof-of-concept study for a novel therapeutic target in eating disorders
These findings provide the first evidence for a causal role of the IPS in modulating implicit food-related behavioural biases. The IPS emerges as a promising neuromodulatory target for interventions aiming to rebalance maladaptive action tendencies in eating disorders and related conditions. Future research should explore the therapeutic potential of IPS-targeted stimulation protocols in clinical populations.
