Use of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to probe the neural circuitry of food choice in anorexia nervosa: A proof-of-concept study.

ABSTRACT: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is used to modulate neural systems and provides the opportunity for experimental tests of hypotheses regarding mechanisms underlying anorexia nervosa (AN). The present pilot study has investigated whether high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) to a region of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) might be associated with change in food selection among adult inpatients with AN. Ten women received one session of sham and one session of HF-rTMS targeting the right DLPFC while completing a computerized Food Choice Task. Compared to sham, HF-rTMS was associated with changes in food ratings and food choice: inpatients reported higher healthiness ratings of low- and high-fat foods and selected a significa
