Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Inhibitory Control Training to Reduce Binge Eating: Brain and Behavioral Changes

Summary

People with BE are characterized by high impulsivity, high levels of craving for high-calorie foods, deficits in inhibitory control, and maladaptive decision making. These characteristics are related, at brain level, to alterations in the activation of areas such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) among other brain areas and their connectivity. The investigators propose an intervention that seeks to target these issues. Thus, the present stud
