Accelerated iTBS treatment applied to the left DLPFC in depressed patients results in a rapid volume increase in the left hippocampal dentate gyrus, not driven by brain perfusion

Accelerated intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (aiTBS) has been shown to be an effective antidepressant treatment. Although neurobiological changes shortly after this intervention have been reported, whether aiTBS results in structural brain changes must still be determined. Furthermore, it possible that rapid volumetric changes are driven by factors other than neurotrophic processes.
