Different neuromodulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are now being investigated for their ability to treat addiction.In alcohol dependent patients, high frequency (HF)-rTMS is able to reduce alcohol craving, an important risk factor in relapse.However, the neurobiological effects of HF-rTMS in such patients are poorly understood.To address some of these unresolved questions we conducted a brain imaging study in a sample of recently detoxified alcohol dependent patients who underwent fifteen HF-rTMS sessions at the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.The effect of stimulation was evaluated by means of an alcohol-related cueexposure during fMRI.Results and implications of this study will be discussed.
