2.3.2. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
CORTEX
The target region for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (The TMS coil was equipped with optical markers, and additional markers were attached to a headband worn on the subject’s forehead to maintain a fixed coil location relative to the head. The position of the coil during stimulation was continuously monitored and recorded.To induce facilitation of excitability in the DLPFC, we utilized high-frequency rTMS. The stimulation was administered using a focal figure-of-8 coil with an outer diameter of 7 cm for each wing, connected to a standard Neuro MS/D magnetic stimulator (Neurosoft, Ivanovo, Russia). Following the established procedure [
