First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a personalized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat emotional blunting—a common symptom where people feel numb or disconnected—in 80 adults with depression. Researchers used brain imaging to target the stimulation precisely. The goal was to see if this approach improves emotional experience and to understand how it works in the brain.
