Our latest article addresses: 1) does TMS propagate better to sgACC in positive or anticorrelated PFC FC targets, per interleaved TMS/fMRI? 2) any difference MDD vs. Healthy? 3) does TMS-evoked sgACC fMRI correlate with mood/affect? See sciencedirect.com/science/articl…🧠🧲⚡️

How does ECT compare to TMS in depression? 2.5x higher response rates (38% vs 15%) in crossover study of 138 patients (each pt got both treatments): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38048154 #ECT (but not #TMS) is particularly effective for psychotic #depression. #psychiatry #mentalhealth

Early improvement during a course of rTMS is highly predictive of a good outcome by the end of treatments. However, there are people who may respond to the treatment later on in the course. researchgate.net/publication/39…

Yoga & tDCS have both been shown to improve cognition. Yoga has been shown to help mental health. tDCS stimulates specific regions of the brain and can improve its functioning. We don’t know whether tDCS and yoga amplify the positive effects of each. researchgate.net/publication/39…

Infographic: on accelerated MST; delivered daily for 6 days to people struggling with severe depression. Most people improved, and there were few cognitive side effects. First study to explore giving MST rapidly to improve depression. VCH Research Institute researchgate.net/publication/39…

New research from the CARTBIND Trial, exploring the relationship between sleep and outcomes in #depression. Worse sleep before #rTMS was associated with worse outcomes. Open access to the paper here: tmsjournal.org/article/S3050-…

On the whole, the brains of older individuals were less excitable than the brains of younger individuals. It's no secret that our #brain changes as we get older, but this phenomenon is not well-understood. KT-infographic researchgate.net/publication/39…
