Background Inhibitory control deficits are a core feature of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, associated with abnormal activation key brain networks. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) may help improve inhibitory control, but its specific effects schizophrenia remain uncertain. Methods This study involved 150 participants divided into Real-rTMS, Sham-rTMS, and healthy groups. was assessed using dual-choice oddball task, task-based functional resonance imaging (fMRI) employed to examine neural activity. The Real-rTMS group received active over DLPFC, Sham placebo stimulation. Results exhibited significant improvements both reaction times accuracy compared group, indicating enhanced control. fMRI data showed that activity regions such as cerebellum, insula, thalamus, normalized patterns closely resembling those observed controls. Additionally, revealed restoration further enhancement negative like middle frontal gyrus superior temporal gyrus, which helped reduce interference from irrelevant stimuli. Conclusion rTMS DLPFC improves by modulating positive patterns. These findings highlight dual mechanism through enhances offering promising intervention for schizophrenia. Future research should explore long-term this modulation on broader functions.
