436. Effects of Personalized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Social Cognitive Network Functional Connectivity in Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders

Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) often feature social cognitive impairments, which are debilitating and lack treatment options. This feasibility study examined the effect of individually-targeted repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) on social cognitive network functional connectivity (i.e., mentalizing and simulation networks) in individuals with SSDs.
