Using imaging to target the prefrontal cortex for transcranial magnetic stimulation studies in treatment-resistant depression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structural brain scans were acquired at study baseline from subjects at all four sites. Prior to obtaining the magnetic resonance image (MRI), the TMS motor location and motor threshold was determined. Using the 5-cm rule, a putative prefrontal location was also determined. Subjects wore swim caps, and Vitamin E capsules were taped to the cap over these two locations. MRI scans were then stored at a central site and analyzed for distance (atrophy) and location. Manual method of determining distance (MEDX)

Background: Major depression disorder is one of the most common psychiatric disorders which is associated with impairment in cognitive functions, including working memory. In recent decades, a non-invasive and painless technique, called Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) has been used in treatment of treatment-resistant depressions. Current study was conducted to investigate th...

Introduction & Objective: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an electro physiologic brain stimulation and integration technique that can change the cortical excitability of the target area in the brain and modulate the nervous and muscular ductility. Addiction is associated with dysfunction of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and altered cerebral oscillations. Acco...

متن کاملProspective Validation That Subgenual Connectivity Predicts Antidepressant Efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Sites.
BACKGROUND The optimal target in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for treating depression with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) remains unknown. Better efficacy has been associated with stimulation sites that are 1) more anterior and lateral and 2) more functionally connected to the subgenual cingulate. Here we prospectively test whether these factors predict response in in...
