The combination of pharmacology and transcranial magnetic stimulation to study the effects
of drugs on TMS-evoked EMG responses (pharmaco-TMS-EMG) has considerably improved …

Successful goal-directed behavior requires not only correct action selection, planning, and
execution but also the ability to flexibly adapt behavior when performance problems occur or …

The striatal dopaminergic system has been implicated in reinforcement learning (RL), motor
performance, and incentive motivation. Various computational models have been proposed …

Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a highly efficient repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
(rTMS) variant employed in experimental and clinical treatment paradigms. Despite …

Highlights•Dominant models of prosocial and antisocial behavior emphasize the role of 'self-
control.'•'Self-control'is conflated with response inhibition, and conceptualized as a 'brake'on …

Background Converging evidence supports that gaming and gambling disorders are
associated with executive dysfunction. The involvement of different components of executive …

Drugs that alter dopamine transmission have opposite effects on reward and punishment
learning. These opposite effects have been suggested to depend on dopamine in the …

Theta burst stimulation is increasingly growing in popularity as a non-invasive method of
moderating corticospinal networks. Theta burst stimulation uses gamma frequency trains …

Objective: In this study three different stimulation parameters of repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation (rTMS) were tested to compare the efficacy of continuous theta burst …

Decision to explore new options with uncertain outcomes or exploit familiar options with
known outcomes is a fundamental challenge that the brain faces in almost all real-life …
