First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at brain activity in 100 adults with major depression who are receiving a treatment called accelerated TMS. Researchers use a special brain scanner (TD-fNIRS) to see if patterns of brain activity can predict who will respond well to the treatment. Healthy volunteers are also included for comparison. The goal is to find biological markers that could help personalize depression care in the future.
