Summary
This study uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to map brain circuits in 180 adults with depression, OCD, anxiety, or schizophrenia. Participants receive accelerated TMS over two days while completing behavioral tests and questionnaires. The goal is to understand which brain circuits control which behaviors, not to treat symptoms directly.
