Excitation-Inhibition Balance and Fronto-Limbic Connectivity Distinguish TMS Treatment Outcomes in Refractory Depression.
BACKGROUND Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is effective for treatment-resistant depression, but outcomes remain variable. The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying response remain poorly understood, limiting precision neuromodulation. METHODS We...
