Summary
This study tested a new way to personalize brain stimulation for depression by using heart rate responses to guide treatment. Researchers mapped the brain's frontal region in 34 healthy volunteers and people with depression, autonomic issues, and stomach discomfort. They compared standard stimulation spots with personalized ones and measured heart, gut, and sweat responses. The goal was to better understand the brain-heart-gut link and make stimulation treatments more effective and accessible.
