Summary
This study tested a new way to deliver brain stimulation for depression by targeting each person's unique brain network. 50 adults with major depression received a single session of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) aimed at their individual 'central executive network.' The goal was to see if this personalized targeting changes brain activity more than standard methods. This early research aims to guide future, larger trials for better depression treatment.
