Abstract
The current pilot study aimed to exploratively investigate whether individual functional connectivity (FC) of the rTMS stimulation site with resting-state networks could predict the individual efficacy of rTMS treatment. We found that rTMS induced an increase of the FC between the stimulation site and the limbic network (LN) in healthy participants, and that this individualized FC was negatively correlated with the rTMS treatment improvement in MDD patients. Moreover, the LN successfully guided the personalized rTMS therapy. These findings highlighted the crucial role of the LN in understanding the mechanisms underlying rTMS treatment improvement, and the personalized therapy in MDD patients.
