简要总结
The main goal of this study is to investigate the neural mechanisms of working memory function in patients with early psychosis using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in conjunction with functional MRI. TMS is a noninvasive method used to modulate brain activity via changing magnetic fields applied over the surface of the scalp.

研究组 & 干预措施
Active TMS
Participants will receive single-session administration of TMS. Functional MRI will be acquired before and immediately after the intervention.
干预措施: Active TMS
Placebo TMS
Participants will also receive single session administration of placebo TMS (at least two days apart from the day of the active TMS). Functional MRI will be acquired before and immediately after the intervention.
干预措施: Placebo TMS
结局指标
主要结局
Working memory accuracy
时间窗: 2 hours
Accuracy at high memory loads during performance of the Sternberg Item Recognition Paradigm will be assessed before and after the TMS interventions.
Reaction time during working memory
时间窗: 2 hours
Reaction time during performance of the Sternberg Item Recognition Paradigm will be assessed before and after the TMS interventions.
Resting state functional connectivity between the left inferior parietal lobule and the regions of the frontoparietal control network
时间窗: 2 hours
Functional connectivity between left inferior parietal lobule and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex will be computed during resting state acquired before and after the TMS interventions.
Resting state functional connectivity within the default mode network
时间窗: 2 hours
Functional connectivity between left inferior parietal lobule and other regions of the default mode network (including the posterior cingulate cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex) will be computed during resting state acquired before and after the TMS interventions.
