Improved brain functional network in major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation after individual target-transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment: a graph-theory analysis by Yao Zhang, Nan Mu, Shun Qi, Chuanzhu Sun, Yang Rao, Xinyi Yang, Jianying Guo, Yunfeng Mu

“…There was a renormalization in topology structure after IT-TMS treatment. Decreased functional connectivity between right insula and left anterior cingulate gyrus correlated with improvement in Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation scores.DiscussionThe current study highlights that MDD/SI+ patients in this cohort showed abnormal brain network connections compared to healthy controls, and that IT-TMS may exert its treatment effects by reducing spontaneous hyper-connectivity in the salience network and insula.…”
