who the heck figured this treatment out because that is some incredible "debugging"
> They applied the stimulation in a subregion that has the strongest relationship with the subgenual cingulate, a part of the brain that is overactive in people experiencing depression. The transcranial magnetic stimulation strengthens the connection between the two regions, facilitating dorsolateral prefrontal cortex control of the activity in the subgenual cingulate.
- jokowueu 5y agoThe story behind subgenual cingulate and mood had long been known . DBS targets it as well for depression https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC2729429/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC2729429/ Only difference here is that normal TMS targets a part of the brain that is not the same for every one. subgenual cingulate location for every one is a bit different . With help of fmri they can know exactly where it is instead of just using a default location
