Summary
This study tested a new way to target brain stimulation for depression. 50 adults with major depression received a single session of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) aimed at their individual brain networks. The goal was to see if personalized targeting could improve brain changes compared to standard methods. This was a small, early-stage study to gather information, not a treatment trial.
