Functional Connectivity of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex Predicts Treatment Outcome for rTMS in Treatment-Resistant Depression at 3-month Follow-up

ConclusionsBrain activity patterns in depression are predictive of treatment response to rTMS, and longitudinal change of brain activity in relevant brain circuits after rTMS is associated with treatment response in depression. Target engagement paradigms may offer opportunities to increase the efficacy of rTMS in TRD by optimal selection of patients for treatment.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT01887782 and NCT02800226.
