The project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse focuses on using advanced TMS protocols guided by neuroimaging to restore reward function in nicotine use disorder, aiming to improve treatment outcomes for substance use disorders.
Description
This project aims to develop brain-based interventions to treat substance use disorders (SUDs), focusing on reward-related neural dysfunction. It involves using robotics, neuroimaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation, particularly robot-assisted image-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (Ri-TMS), to optimize treatment protocols.
