Abstract:Patients with disorders of compulsivity show impairments in goal-directed behavior, which have been linked to orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) dysfunction. We recently showed that continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), which reduces OFC activity, had a beneficial effect on compulsive behaviors both immediately and at 1 week follow-up compared with inhibitory TBS (iTBS). In this same sample, we investigated whether two behavioral measures of goal-directed control (devaluation success on a habit override task; mod… Show more
