A growing body of evidence suggests a wide range of brain areas including medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and other subcortical regions, such as anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are critical for regulating cognitive control over decisions and involving in drug related cue processing. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reduces craving for meth dependences. Specifically, the H7 coil induces a magnetic field can target mPFC and ACC. In this study, the investigators investigated whether repeated dTMS intervention of medial prefrontal and cingulate cortices in methamphetamine addiction could reduce the subjective craving and improve the cognitive abilities.
