Examination into the Reproducibility and Sources of Interindividual Variability in the Down-Regulatory Effects of Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation Targeting the Dorsolateral Prefrontal on Executive Functions

A total of 71.4 % of participants (55/77) responded to cTBS, as indexed by impairments in task performance; task performance improved in non-responders. This effect was significantly moderated by baseline task performance in that larger effects were observed in those individuals with higher executive functions (β=-.271, p=.018).
