a) Delivery phase of the task. Patients navigated through a virtual city to find the passenger and then the store to deliver them to (as instructed on the screen). b) A reporting period after patients finished delivering passengers to all five stores. Patients are asked to indicate where each store was located (spatial retrieval, top) and the sequence in which they visited the stores (temporal retrieval, bottom). c) Retrieval phase of the task. Patients reported which store at the bottom was closer to the one on top - in terms of distance (spatial retrieval) or delivery order (temporal retrieval). d) Stimulation protocol. Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) was applied to two pre-selected target nodes for 2 seconds preceding the retrieval cue onset in half of the spatial and temporal trials.
