Indirect frontocingulate structural connectivity predicts clinical response to accelerated rTMS in major depressive disorder

Conclusion: Stronger structural frontocingular connections may be of essence to optimally benefit from left dlPFC rTMS treatment in MDD. Even though the results are promising, further investigation with larger numbers of patients, more advanced tractography algorithms and classic daily rTMS treatment paradigms is warranted.
