Personalized and Circuit-Based Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Evidence, Controversies, and Opportunities

The development of neuroimaging methodologies to map brain connectivity has transformed our understanding of psychiatric disorders, the distributed effects of brain stimulation, and how transcranial magnetic stimulation can be best employed to target and ameliorate psychiatric symptoms. In parallel, neuroimaging research has revealed that higher-order brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex, which represent the most common therapeutic brain stimulation targets for psychiatric disorders, show some of the highest levels of interindividual variation in brain connectivity.
